Ask a Psychiatrist
Can I do my appointment from my car or my office?
Yes. Parked, private, and physically inside Texas is all the law asks. The parked car is quietly one of the most popular consultation rooms in America and we're fine with that. What matters clinically is that you can speak freely; a session you whisper through isn't a real session. Headphones help.

An office with a door on your lunch break works too, and there are evening slots for calendars that won't bend. The one hard rule: not while driving. Ever.
