Private and convenient
Connect from a quiet, confidential setting without adding a commute to your day.
Secure virtual sessions
Therapy that meets you where you are.
Secure virtual services begin November 16, 2026, with referrals and new client requests accepted beginning October 27, 2026. Before scheduling, we’ll confirm your physical location, clinical needs, and whether telehealth is available where you live.

Meet your therapistBefore we schedule
Eligibility is confirmed before your first appointment.
Telehealth rules are based on where you are physically located during each session, even when that differs from your home address. Share your location when you inquire so H.E.R. Collective can confirm availability.
Consistent support
Maintain continuity of care through schedule changes, travel, or demanding seasons.
Thoughtful fit
Your needs, safety, location, and technology access are reviewed before care begins.
Preparing for virtual care
A calm, private space, wherever you are.
A little preparation helps protect your privacy, keeps the session focused, and gives us a clear plan if technology does not cooperate.
- 1
Share the state or jurisdiction where you will be physically located during sessions.
- 2
Complete consent and intake forms before your first appointment.
- 3
Choose a private setting and use a reliable device with a camera.
- 4
Keep your current address and an emergency contact available for safety planning.
Privacy and safety
Your setting is part of the session.
Use headphones when helpful, silence notifications, and let others nearby know you need uninterrupted time. At the start of each visit, your identity and current physical location may be confirmed.
Telehealth is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. In the United States, call or text 988 for crisis support.
Common questions
What to know before you connect.
When can I request care or make a referral?
H.E.R. Collective begins accepting referrals and new clients on October 27, 2026. Services begin November 16, 2026. Visit the Contact page for new client and referral inquiries. Eligibility, fees, and appointment availability are confirmed before scheduling.
What happens if the connection drops?
At the beginning of care, we’ll agree on a backup plan so you know whether to reconnect or expect a phone call.
Can I attend from my car?
A parked car may work when it is private and safe. Sessions cannot be held while you are driving.
How does telehealth work for adolescents?
A parent or guardian may need to participate in consent, setup, and safety planning depending on the client’s age and location.
Is telehealth right for every situation?
Not always. If virtual outpatient care is not the safest or most appropriate fit, we’ll discuss care in person or a higher level of support.
