Personal Connection with Counseling Services

Telehealth may be more comfortable than you first realize. It may even surprise you how easy it is to communicate and find a personal level of comfort. Similar to our on-site counseling appointments, our behavioral health providers create an environment that is safe and comfortable for you.

“No matter what I say, there is going to be that fear and apprehension. But there are people at LSS who really want to help me. They understand that this is not easy, and they know how to deal with that. How many times do we hang up before we let the call go through? That is normal. But I’m always glad that I do it. I’m going to be ok.” –counseling client
