I started out in Group Therapy and learned a lot about myself and interpersonal relationship skills. I moved on to individual sessions and absolutely love the safe haven I’ve found in my Dr. He’s deeply compassionate and has helped me navigate some deeply painful challenges. Thank you, Dr. Stuart!

Questions about getting started in Steck

How quickly can I get an appointment at the Steck location?

Do you accept insurance at the Steck office?

Yes — we accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, and more. We also offer self-pay and sliding scale rates. You can verify your coverage online or call us and we’ll check your benefits for free.

Can I do telehealth instead of coming in person?

Absolutely. We offer both in-person sessions at our 8140 N Mopac Expressway office and telehealth appointments via secure video for patients anywhere in Texas. Many of our patients do a mix of both depending on their schedule.

Do I need a referral to book a therapy appointment?

No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by phone. We’ll ask a few questions to match you with the right therapist based on your needs and insurance. The whole intake process takes about 10 minutes.

Is my therapy confidential?

Yes, completely. Everything discussed in therapy is protected by HIPAA privacy laws. Information is only shared in very limited circumstances (imminent risk of harm to self or others) which your therapist will explain fully in your first session.
