Telehealth is videoconferencing, like Skype, except it uses a HIPAA compliant platform to ensure confidentiality. Your therapist will send you a meeting invitation to your email or even cell phone. You just click on the link, and your therapist will be on the other end, ready to see you as usual. You can easily continue your mental health services with no disruption if you opt for telehealth, and you will have a very similar experience to your in-person sessions.

Yes. Telehealth has been available for counseling for years. Multiple studies over these years have found that in broad use, it is just as effective as in-person sessions in terms of symptom reduction and client satisfaction, especially when the therapist and client already know each other from in-person settings.

Most insurances are now covering telehealth services and encourage members to use telehealth services during the pandemic. Some insurances are waiving copays and deductibles for a specified time frame if services are conducted via telehealth. Consult your insurance plan for more information.

The office will be making changes again due to the mandate by Governor Abbott on July 3rd requiring all to wear masks in public places. These changes will help us ensure we are doing everything we can to make the office and your time there safe for you and for staff.

We ask anyone who is able to use video or telephone telehealth to do so. We are not requiring you to use telehealth and are leaving that choice up to you. Children, those with limited internet or technology knowledge, or those who just don’t benefit from telehealth can continue with office visits.

Telehealth is videoconferencing, like Skype, except it uses a HIPAA compliant platform to ensure confidentiality. Your therapist will send you a meeting invitation to your email or even cell phone. You just click on the link, and your therapist will be on the other end, ready to see you as usual. You can easily continue your mental health services with no disruption if you opt for telehealth, and you will have a very similar experience to your in-person sessions. Most insurance companies have added telehealth coverage in light of the pandemic.

You will be asked to wear a mask while in shared spaces in the office. These areas are the waiting room, halls, and restroom. It is your choice to wear a mask while in session. You can ask your clinician to wear a mask during session also. We have disposable masks available for your use.

We ask you to arrive close to your appointment time to limit several people in the waiting room. If you arrive early please remain in your vehicle until the time of your appointment. Please come to your appointment alone or have others remain in your vehicle. One parent is allowed to be in the waiting room while their child is in session.

We are disinfecting after every person who comes in the office. The restroom is cleaned every hour. Hand sanitizer is available and we encourage you to use when you enter and before you leave.

We will get through this virus. Continue to support each other and show kindness. Thank you for allowing us to walk with you through life.

Take the therapy session outside of the office. EAP incorporates the use of horses for therapeutic intervention by promoting emotional growth and healing. The horse becomes a part of a mental health counseling session where individuals interact with them in a variety of activities, including grooming, feeding, walking and equine games — improving psychological health.
