Gregory Lucas, PhD Licensed Psychologist

My practice is closed for office visits but available for TeleHealth counseling appointments. American Psychological Association and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly prefer mental health professionals offer TeleHealth services rather than in-person visits due to COVID-19 concerns. They advise clients to wear masks for office visits and providers regardless of vaccination status. As of now, TeleHealth counseling is only available through secure and encrypted web-based audio/video chats that comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Please reach out to discuss TeleHealth. Furthermore, most health insurance plans cover TeleHealth counseling, but it may have different copays as regular copayment. We have to control ourselves, and we should be careful not to expose our clients and reduce unnecessary exposure. Please visit this link to read more.
