WE OFFER HIPPA-COMPLIANT ONLINE VIDEO COUNSELING!
If location, commute distance, or scheduling is a concern, tele-health counseling modes of therapy may better serve you!
Below are guidelines, needs, & information to consider when choosing telehealth:
DOXY.ME
Our practice utilizes a HIPPA-compatible tele-conferencing platform called Doxy.Me. This platform is simple to navigate & does not require a personal account to use! Your therapist will send you a direct link to their online therapy room where you will check into the waiting room. At the start of your session time, your therapist will invite you into the online room where you will meet!
PERSONAL NEEDS FOR TELECOUNSELING SERVICES
- Laptop, smartphone, tablet, or PC with video & audio capabilities
- Reliable access to internet
- Consistent & private area, free of distractions where sessions can occur
TELECOUNSELING GUIDELINES:
- At time of session, client's physical location must be within Texas State lines
- Client will need to have a Release of Information for an Emergency Contact on file

- Minors may not have telecounseling session without an informed-consent adult present in physical location
RISKS OF TELECOUNSELING & ONLINE INTERACTIONS:
