The term “DFPS Services” refers to services performed under a contract between Alamo Heights Counseling, Inc and the State of Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. A service is not necessarily a DFPS service just because the service is recommended by an employee of DFPS. Only when they services are required by DFPS to complete a Family Plan of Service or when the services are being paid for by DFPS is the service truly considered to be a “DFPS Service.”

These services may have additional requirements beyond HIPAA, informed consent, or insurance guidelines. DFPS Services may have additional requirements in terms of required paperwork, releases of information.

DFPS Services that Alamo Heights Counseling offers:

• Evaluation and Treatment Services
• Supervised Visitation
