Specialized Care Across Mississippi via Telehealth

Mississippi is a uniquely rural state with lower than usual access to specialized medical and mental healthcare. If you are near the Gulf Coast, Hattiesburg, Jackson, Southaven, Tupelo, Oxford, or Starkville, then you might be able to find a specialist with the training you need—but that is often not the case in other parts of our state. Online therapy via telehealth helps bridge that gap so you can get the care you need from your home without having to make a long drive.

You’re Looking for Local Understanding and Local Values

There are a lot of options for online specialized therapy with practitioners who specialize in what you need help with. While these can be great resources, they often don’t accept health insurance and may not have enough connection with our local culture and values to establish the trust you deserve.

Therapy isn’t just about "information transfer" from one person to another; it’s a relationship built on insights that help you learn a new way to live and think. To walk this journey to the full extent, you need to trust who you're working with. There’s a higher likelihood of establishing that strong connection when you meet with someone from your home state who understands your world.

Why Telehealth Works Specifically for OCD and Anxiety

Online therapy can actually work exceptionally well for OCD and anxiety disorders. People struggling with anxiety often have a lot of triggers and anxiety-related associations with places and activities in their own homes.

By meeting via telehealth, we can tackle those triggers in session and get you on your way to changing your relationship with anxiety faster.

• For Kids: Telehealth is highly effective when parents are actively involved in the process.

• For Adults: Clients love the flexibility of meeting during a lunch break or while the kids are at school.
