<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPatients can safely connect with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from their own home \u2014 through their smartphone, tablet or computer with video\/audio capability. As with their other healthcare services (including women\u2019s health, pediatrics, pharmacy, dental emergencies),<\/a> NVHC offers a sliding-fee scale for mental health and addiction counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo many people are stressed and anxious about their health and finances, which can contribute to other problems \u2014 from relationship issues to addiction and everything in between,\u201d said NVHC Director of Behavioral Health Sandra Abdullah. \u201cOur behavioral health team is available to meet them through their phone or video to help them talk through the issues that are troubling them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abdullah adds that social distancing mandates can often lead to feelings of isolation and helplessness. Therefore, NVHC\u2019s licensed behavioral health providers are putting more emphasis on technology as a treatment modality, connecting with patients by video to give them the specific tools they need to improve their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSometimes, people just need to know there are resources available to them during this trying time,\u201d said NVHC Director of Telehealth Services Corie Nieto. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful that technology allows us to safely bring these resources to the people who need them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information about teletherapy appointments from NVHC, visit https:\/\/www.nevadahealthcenters.org\/services\/behavioral-health\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To schedule an appointment call 800-787-2568.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
