How telehealth care works with AB Holistic

Telehealth sessions for clients in Monte Vista, Colorado are scheduled online and done via secure video. You’ll start with a brief intake so we understand your goals and what you want help with.nnFrom there, we match you with a licensed clinician who fits your needs. In early sessions, you’ll clarify priorities, learn a few immediate coping tools, and agree on a plan (frequency, focus areas, and what progress looks like).nnIf medication might help, a psychiatric provider can complete an evaluation and discuss benefits, side effects, and alternatives. You’re often in the driver’s seat—our job is to guide you with clarity and care.

• Confidential video visits
• Evidence-based therapy and (when appropriate) medication support
• Goal tracking and practical between-session tools

Approaches we may use in Monte Vista

Depending on your situation, you may use skill-based therapy, trauma-informed care, relationship-focused work, or a blended approach.nnWe’ll also talk about sleep, routines, and stress physiology—because mental health isn’t separate from the body. Small changes, done consistently, often compound into noticeable relief.

What should I do in a crisis?

If you are in immediate danger, call 988 (U.S.) or local the appropriate emergency number. If it’s urgent but not life-threatening, reach out to a trusted person and seek professional help right away.

Is my information private?
