Find a comfortable, private space, test your technology beforehand, and think about what you'd like to discuss. It's normal to feel nervous – your therapist will help you feel comfortable and guide you through the process.

If you're experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. In Texas, you can also contact the Texas Crisis Text Line by texting "TX" to 741741. Telehealth counseling is not appropriate for crisis intervention, but we can help you develop a safety plan during regular sessions.

We have clear communication policies that your therapist will review with you. Generally, brief check-ins via secure messaging are welcome, but ongoing therapeutic work should occur during scheduled sessions.
