Our client was referred to our practice by his attorney.  He had been involved in a workplace accident involving a forklift, which changed his life forever by crushing his foot and requiring complex surgery and medical procedures to save his limb.  His doctors reconstructed his foot using skin grafts and muscle transplants.  Not surprisingly, our client began showing signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and made the wise decision to reach out to his attorney’s office for suggestions.  After over a year of focused therapy, our client is much-improved and continues to progress day-by-day.  Here he is in his own words talking about his experience with Mental Pain and Trauma Centers:

We couldn’t be more happy for our client.  He has been working with his Therapist, Janet Snyder, for well over a year, and has made significant progress over that time.  Our client is a testament to results that can be achieved when referred to Mental Pain and Trauma Centers.

Mental Pain and Trauma Has Employed Telehealth For Years

Mental Pain and Trauma Centers has been offering telehealth services through Doxy.me for several years, well before Anxiety, Mental Anguish and The Covid 19 Coronavirus came upon us.  In fact, we even have a questionnaire that you can place in your clients’ intake packets to help determine during the intake process if they should schedule an initial evaluation with our practice under a Letter of Protection (LOP).  This is largely due to the fact that many of our clients have major difficulties operating a motor vehicle due to the stress surrounding engaging in the very actions that led to their anxiety, and also because many clients’ primary transportation was totaled in the accident they suffered.
