About Our Services

Steady Mind Counseling is a licensed mental health practice offering online therapy services to clients in Texas and Pennsylvania. Our website provides general information about our practice, the therapist, services offered, and how to get started with therapy.

The information on this website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Use of this website does not establish a therapeutic relationship. A formal therapeutic relationship is only established through a separate informed consent agreement signed prior to the start of services.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. This website is not monitored for crisis situations.

​

Telehealth Services

Therapy services are provided online via HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms. By scheduling and attending sessions, you agree to a separate Informed Consent for Telehealth Services, which will be provided to you prior to your first appointment. That agreement governs clinical relationships and supersedes anything stated on this website regarding therapy services.

Telehealth services are subject to licensing laws in Texas and Pennsylvania. Services are only available to clients physically located in those states at the time of service.

​
