As the public health risk of COVID 19 remains, High Country Behavioral Health continues to offer online telehealth services to minimize risk to our clients and staff. At this time, we are also offering in-person appointments with adherence to guidelines established by our organization and those of local and federal health authorities. Clients will be asked to strictly abide by these guidelines, as well as provide signed consent (see link below), prior to receiving in-person services.
