  • Clinically Recognized Care

    Telehealth is considered a clinically appropriate and legally recognized form of mental health treatment in WA, IL, and CO.

    The Location Rule

    If you see Shelly: You must be physically located in Washington, Illinois, or Colorado at the time of your session.

    If you see Emerson: You must be physically located in Illinois at the time of your session.

    Safety Protocols

    At the start of every telehealth session, your therapist will verify your exact physical address and your emergency contact information. If a technical failure occurs, your therapist will attempt to contact you via your agreed upon backup method.
