State and federal laws oversee even the smallest therapy practices.

Stop stressing! Our client base includes many small to medium-sized private psychotherapy practices just like yours. The attorneys at Jackson LLP Healthcare Lawyers are familiar with the detailed requirements of relevant laws such as HIPAA and state patient privacy laws for mental health professionals. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the requirements imposed upon you, we can provide guidance and craft practice policies that are easy to use, reference, and implement.

Other issues we often address for psychiatrists, psychologists, LCSWs, and other mental health professionals include:

Intake forms
Employment contracts and handbooks
Practice ownership, mergers, and management
Business formations (LLC, PLLC, corporations)
Telehealth and interstate practice
Compliance with the new federal No Surprises Act
Privacy obligations vs. mandatory reporting requirements

We recognize that legal documents and policies must reflect your specific state license requirements and the uniqueness of your patient population and staff configuration.
