Holly Shiao, MD

Holly Shiao, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

I am a psychiatrist interested in the mind-body connection in overall emotional and mental well-being. I have worked extensively with medically complex patients, including a special focus in psycho-oncology with cancer patients. I like to integrate therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, mindfulness and meditation with medication management to optimize a patient's mental health.

I am double board-certified in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Adult Psychiatry and have been practicing for over 7 years. Before Talkiatry, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. I also worked as an Assistant Professor and was Director of Emergency Psychiatry at the University of Chicago. I have presented nationally at the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and written a book chapter about psycho-oncology.

I attended medical school at John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. I then completed an Adult Psychiatry residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, followed by a Consultation-Liaison fellowship at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin.

Jennifer Ruch, DO

Jennifer Ruch, DO

Staff Psychiatrist

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who strives to understand my patients' lived experiences and aspirations to develop supportive therapeutic relationships through empathetic listening, mutual trust, and respect. I collaboratively create individualized care plans that align with personal treatment goals in a safe and judgment-free environment.

After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology with a focus in psychology from the University of California, Merced, I earned my medical degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed my General Psychiatry Residency at Arnot Ogden Medical Center in New York.

My clinical experience involves treating individuals of all age groups from diverse populations and socioeconomic backgrounds suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurocognitive disorders. I have provided care in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, emergency rooms, state facilities, and an inpatient chemical dependency center. I also performed pre-procedure psychological evaluations for bariatric and spinal cord surgeries, and psychiatric consult liaison services on medical units, and I have clinical training in inpatient and outpatient neurology. My clinical experience incorporated treatment modalities such as pharmacotherapy and interventional psychiatry, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Spravato. I integrate a wide array of psychotherapy as needed; however, my practice primarily focuses on medication management while utilizing referrals to therapists and providing collaborative care for optimal outcomes.

Jennifer Shoenfelt, MD

Jennifer Shoenfelt, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

My practice focuses on child and adolescent medication management. I typically offer this in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. Occasionally, however, I may believe that additional therapy is needed and will ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome. I provide treatment plans that include holistic recommendations for diet, exercise, and educational and psychosocial/spiritual aspects of care. I am known for listening to and respecting patients' stories and walking them on a path of recovery and growth.

I am a staff psychiatrist at Talkiatry and am double board certified in child and adolescent psychiatry and adult psychiatry. I received my medical degree from the Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, and my Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy from The Ohio State University. Prior to attending medical school, I practiced for 14 years in physical therapy with a specialization in children with developmental and neurological disabilities. I have held multiple positions in hospital and outpatient psychiatry, including community mental health, developmental and foster care settings, and medical director positions. I have also served as clinical faculty for both the Wright State Department of Psychiatry and the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine. I have a passion for the education of medical students, residents, and patients.

I am committed to creating a supportive, empathic, and respectful environment that prioritizes patient comfort and collaboration.

I have extensive experience caring for outpatients with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, PTSD, and complex medical conditions.

I completed residency and fellowship training in Trauma and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine. I also completed subspecialty training at UCLA's Human Sexuality, Anxiety Disorders, and Mood Disorders Clinics.

Find a psychiatrist in Seattle, WA

Talkiatry psychiatrists are licensed in Washington and see Seattle residents by video, from anywhere in the Seattle area. You meet from home on your own schedule, so there is no commute across the city and no wait to get on a local practice's waitlist. Because care is online, you are not limited to the psychiatrists who happen to have an office near you.

Online psychiatry for Seattle residents

Getting started is straightforward. You answer a few questions online, then get matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Washington. You meet by video from home, so there is no Seattle office to travel to.

Your first visit is 60 minutes, which gives you and your psychiatrist time to talk through what is going on and build a plan together. Follow-up visits are usually about 30 minutes. A psychiatrist has to be licensed in the state where you are located during the visit, which is why these pages are organized by state and city.

What a psychiatrist can help with

Talkiatry psychiatrists work with adults on a range of conditions. Common ones include:

Psychiatrists are medical doctors. They can prescribe and manage medication, and they can adjust it over time based on how you respond. Therapy is available too, so your care can combine medication and talk therapy when that fits your needs.

Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Seattle?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is checked during the free assessment before you book a visit. What you pay depends on your specific plan, so it is a good idea to confirm your out-of-pocket costs with your insurer. There are no separate carrier lists or price estimates to sort through here; the assessment handles the coverage check for you.

Mental health care in Seattle

Finding psychiatric care in the region can take time. Across Washington, there are 226 designated mental health professional shortage areas, covering about 4.51 million people, and only about 20.9% of the state's psychiatric care need is currently met (according to KFF as of 12/31/25). Online psychiatry widens the pool of psychiatrists you can see, since you are not limited to providers with an open spot near you.

Seattle is one part of the state Talkiatry serves. For the full list of psychiatrists licensed across the state, visit our Washington psychiatry page.

Common questions about psychiatric care in Seattle, WA

Can I see a psychiatrist online in Seattle?

Yes. Talkiatry psychiatrists are licensed in Washington and meet with Seattle residents by video. You need to be located in Washington during your visit, because a psychiatrist must be licensed in the state where you are.

Is Talkiatry available in Seattle?

Yes, virtually. Talkiatry does not have a Seattle office, but its Washington-licensed psychiatrists can see anyone located in Seattle or elsewhere in the state by video from home.

Does insurance cover online psychiatry in Seattle?

Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is checked during the free assessment. What you pay depends on your plan, so confirm your out-of-pocket costs with your insurer.

Can I get a prescription from an online psychiatrist in Seattle?

Often, yes. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe and manage medication when it is clinically appropriate and legally permitted. Some medications, including certain controlled substances, may be prescribed where appropriate, but a prescription is never guaranteed.
