TELEHEALTH
Therapy from wherever you're stationed.
The whole practice is telehealth by design. It works around drill weekends, duty schedules, deployments, shift work, kids and the reality of moving.
Why video is the practice, not the backup
Plenty of practices added video during a crisis and kept it as an option. This one was built around it. The people this practice serves move: orders come through, drill weekends eat the calendar, a shift rotation changes, a household relocates across the state. A therapy relationship tied to a waiting room in one city breaks the first time any of that happens, and the person who most needed continuity is the one who loses it.
Telehealth also removes the parts of care that quietly stop people from starting. There is no commute, no parking, no sitting in a lobby where somebody might recognize you, no half day taken off work for a 50-minute appointment. For active-duty service members and first responders working nights, that difference is often the whole reason the appointment gets kept.
What a session actually requires
Sessions run over HIPAA-secure video through Headway. Before each one you get a link, and you join from a laptop, tablet or phone at the scheduled time. There is nothing to install beyond what the link asks for, and no account to build on this website.
Practically, you want three things: a device with a working camera, a connection steady enough to hold a video call, and headphones. Headphones matter more than people expect. They keep your side of the conversation from carrying into the next room, and they make it much easier to stay in the hour rather than half listening to the house.
Where people take their sessions from
The honest answer is: not always a tidy home office. People take sessions from a parked car on a lunch break, a spare bedroom with the door locked, a garage, a barracks room, a hotel on travel orders. Any of those work. What matters is that you are somewhere you can say a true sentence out loud without editing it for whoever might be listening.
If privacy at home is genuinely difficult, say so at the free consult rather than working around it silently. It changes what gets scheduled and when, and it is a very common problem in households with kids, roommates or a partner who does not yet know you are in therapy.
Connection trouble, and what happens then
Bad connections happen, usually at the least convenient moment. If video freezes or drops, we reconnect. If it will not hold, we finish by phone rather than throw away the appointment. You are not penalized for your internet. It helps to have your phone nearby and charged so the fallback is immediate rather than a scramble.
The one rule telehealth does impose
You have to be physically located in Texas, Maryland or Massachusetts at the time of each session. That is a licensure requirement rather than a preference, and it applies to where you are sitting that hour, not where you live or where your mail goes. Traveling, deploying or moving is workable if it is planned for, and the service areas page explains how that gets handled. Billing and coverage questions are answered on the insurance and EAP page.
Questions about video sessions
What if I don't have a private place to take a session?
Most people solve this with a parked car, a spare room, a garage or a set of headphones and a white noise app outside the door. It is worth raising at the consult, because the answer shapes what we can do in session and when we schedule it.
Can I do a session from my phone?
Yes. A phone works, though a laptop or tablet propped on something steady is easier over a full 50 minutes, and headphones help more than any other single thing.
What happens if my internet drops mid-session?
We reconnect. If video will not hold, we finish the session by phone rather than losing the hour. Technology problems are not treated as a missed appointment.
Is telehealth as useful as sitting in an office?
Telehealth is the way this practice delivers EMDR, CPT and CBT, and those protocols are run the same way over video. What matters far more than the room is whether you can be private and uninterrupted for the hour.
