Referrals
Thank you for helping your patients connect! I look forward to working together!
- When clients receive the mental health support they need, society as a whole improves. I welcome referrals from other healthcare providers, therapists, and family members. In fact, most of the time when a client engages in my services, they have been guided or assisted by another concerned person.
- I serve clients 18 and older via telehealth in NC and VA. I offer limited in-person appointments for local clients. Clients do not have to be college students or pregnant or breastfeeding to receive my services but I have additional training and support for those clients. I do not accept insurance. I partner with Mentaya so that my patients can verify and submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement if they desire to do so. My therapy approaches are person-centered, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (attachment wound healing), and Brainspotting (including OCD protocol birth trauma protocol, and trauma processing).
- To help a client engage in care, I encourage you to direct clients to the website where they can complete their welcome packet simply by clicking the “request appointment” button. This can even be done during your office appointment or with the assistance of office staff when time or resources allow. No referral form is needed, clients can self-refer and self-schedule. Clients or providers may also call directly and leave a message with their name and contact number and they will be called to schedule (336-290-1396).
- Clients tend to feel most comfortable seeking services when their own provider offers a personal recommendation. If you would like to set up a zoom meeting to meet me and discuss my services and process, please reach out at heather.herman@joyspringmentalhealth.com.
- All clients are instructed to provide a primary care provider and therapist (if they have one) for communication and continuity of care. At the conclusion of an intake, or when important changes are made, you will be sent a summary letter.
- I have limited availability for traditional therapy services and I am always glad to connect with therapists who I can refer to.
