Can I Complete This Process From Home?

Most people follow the same simple path:
- Step 1: Start the 1-minute screener
- Step 2: Schedule a telehealth appointment
- Step 3: Complete a clinical evaluation
- Step 4: Follow treatment recommendations
- Step 5: Documentation support when clinically appropriate
