Please notify us by email prior to your appointment if you will be out of the state of Texas for your appointment. All of our clinicians are licensed to provide counseling in the State of Texas and only are allowed to provide counseling in states that have licensure reciprocity with Texas. We will need time to find out if the state you are in allows this type of reciprocity. If it does not we will not be able to provide counseling but can provide referrals.
Note: Although your contacts will be kept private, please remember that the confidentiality of email contacts cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of electronic media.
If it is after normal business hours and you are in crisis, you can reach the after-hours counseling service at 512-471-3399 to speak to a crisis counselor. During normal business hours please call our main office at 512-471-3366.
The EAP strives to provide an inclusive, supportive environment for all of our clients. If there is anything specific we can do be inclusive and supportive of you, please let us know.
