New Service Available at  M. Longley Counseling and Consulting, PLLC:

We are providing a new service to deliver efficient and convenient care for our patients through the coronavirus crisis. We are able to provide HIPAA compliant tele-counseling for either face to face routine visits or urgent need telehealth should it be required by quarantine or requested by the patient. There are no additional fees other than your normal payment arrangement such as a fee or copayment with insurance. Insurance can and has been approved for this service. Please contact us should you prefer your session to be conducted via tele-counseling. This process is very simple. The provider will send a link to you, and we can be face-to-face with you, your phone, computer, or iPad, at your convenience, during scheduled times. We will continue to provide updates accordingly should the practice become exclusive to tele-counseling. We have made an extra effort to ensure the health of all providers and clients by maintaining a clean counseling office, if you visit our offices in person. If you have any symptoms such as a fever, please stay at home and contact your physician, and then call us so we can reschedule your appointment. Mental health, support, and our services will and must continue, and we will work with you one day at a time.
