Scheduling & Contacting Me
Honestly, I have tried several scheduling apps to streamline the process for clients but I have found it much easier and more preferred to schedule with me directly. So, to keep it simple and personable, that is what I fully intend to do. Let me be clear, I am HORRIBLE at answering the phone because I stay busy as a Ph.D. student and owner of this business, as well as an online Mind-Body Shop. It is something I am ALWAYS actively working on improving. I'm a straightforward, realistic person...and realistically, I don't answer the phone as regularly as I would like. I would be lying if I said I did. Until I have an assistant, please send me an email, message me here, the Wix app, or through PMHW Facebook messenger. I do check those messages regularly.
Session Locations
Most sessions are conducted online due to COVID-19 safety reasons and convenience. Doxy.me is a secure telehealth service that I have used in the past that is HIPPA compliant. However, most clients opt to use Zoom or Facetime but must sign the waiver understanding that those manners of communication are not fully secure.
PMHW does not have a brick and mortar location at this time. The four years prior to COVID-19, sessions were conducted at non-busy Starbucks locations. Most people pay zero attention to anyone else in Starbucks because they are either also having a business meeting or are students working on school work with headphones on. If scheduled at the right time, it is very private. Prior to moving to Porter, I worked all over Houston at extremely busy locations. If it was not private enough or if the client was uncomfortable, we either moved locations or rescheduled. I have noticed less people inside Starbucks on this side of town and even more so now. With that said, I take all precautions to be as safe as possible.
Other Locations: Public libraries or community colleges usually have private study rooms or outdoor areas (similar to Starbucks) that can also be used for meetings. I am open to location preferences. I know it may sound odd but I have only had one person uncomfortable with it and after the first meeting she wanted Starbucks. It is also very nice to have sessions outside if the weather permits it.
Insurance
I do not plan to partner with any other insurance companies for services at this time.
Intake
I ask for all intake documents to be completed before the first session and that you read the "Is This For You?" page located in the Menu. I briefly go over all intake documents at the beginning of the session. Initial intake sessions typically run for two hours and can include treatment planning. Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes.
