However, distance doesn't have to be a barrier. Many of the 9 centers in Hickory offer telehealth options for initial consultations and ongoing treatment. Telehealth visits happen over video or phone and allow you to connect with counselors, therapists, and sometimes medication providers without traveling. This is particularly helpful if you have work or family commitments, limited transportation, or need flexibility. Some people start with an in-person appointment for assessment and then move to telehealth for regular sessions, combining the two approaches.
