From ongoing school partnerships to care during summer and holiday breaks, ESE works to keep students connected to support.

About Us
Helping children get
the support they need.
ESE Mental Health is a Georgia-based teletherapy provider helping children, parents, and other adults access compassionate mental health care. Our work began around a clear purpose: removing barriers between children and the support they need.
Our mission
Remove barriers.
Connect children to care.
Our mission is simple: remove the barriers that stand between a child and the mental health support they need.
For many families, getting help can mean finding transportation, taking time away from work, navigating costs, or searching for an available provider. ESE works with schools and families to make that first step easier and help students stay connected to care.
What we do
A bridge between families and professional care.
ESE connects students, parents, and other adults with licensed mental health clinicians through virtual appointments. Our role is to make reaching out feel possible and help people take the next step.
Working together
A shared commitment
to children’s well-being.
Families, schools, and clinicians each play a part in helping children feel supported. ESE brings these relationships together around a shared purpose: giving children the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
By helping children access care, build coping skills, and develop trusting relationships, ESE works toward a future where asking for help is easier and support is within reach.

Support from school, home, or wherever you feel comfortable.
Virtual care helps remove travel and scheduling barriers while keeping professional support within reach. Reach out when you need support or want to understand your options. Appointments are scheduled with ESE; confirm availability for your location and choose a quiet, private space for your session.

Removing barriers to care
Sustainable support for your school community.
Transportation challenges, financial limitations, scheduling conflicts, staffing shortages, stigma, and funding gaps can stand between students and the support they need. ESE works with school partners to address those barriers and keep care accessible over time.
A model designed for continuity
ESE has built a model designed to become self-sustainable with utilization over time, which will continue to provide care, even if state grant funding fluctuates.
District-specific indigent care
ESE supports uninsured students through district-specific indigent care funds and has secured private funding to help serve K–5 students. Funding availability and eligibility depend on the district program.
Care during summer and holiday breaks
Treatment continues during summer and holiday breaks. Students can connect through an internet-connected device at school, at home, or while on break.
Less administrative work for schools
ESE manages scheduling, documentation, follow-up, and care coordination so school counselors and staff can focus on supporting students.
Support for parents, too.
Parents can contact ESE about confidential care for their own well-being, separately from seeking support for their child.

Where to get care
Connect from a private space.

Consent
Telemental Health Informed Consent
I hereby consent to participate in telemental health as part of my psychotherapy. I understand that telemental health is the practice of delivering clinical health care services via technology assisted media or other electronic means between a practitioner and a client who are located in two different locations.
I understand the following with respect to telemental health:
- I understand that I have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting my right to future care, services, or program benefits to which I would otherwise be entitled.
- I understand that there are risks, benefits, and consequences associated with telemental health, including but not limited to, disruption of transmission by technology failures, interruption and/or breaches of confidentiality by unauthorized persons, and/or limited ability to respond to emergencies.
- I understand that there will be no recording of any of the online sessions by either party. All information disclosed within sessions and written records pertaining to those sessions are confidential and may not be disclosed to anyone without written authorization, except where the disclosure is permitted and/or required by law.
- I understand that the privacy laws that protect the confidentiality of my protected health information (PHI) also apply to telemental health unless an exception to confidentiality applies (i.e. mandatory reporting of child, elder, or vulnerable adult abuse; danger to self or others; I raise mental/emotional health as an issue in a legal proceeding).
- I understand that if I am having suicidal or homicidal thoughts, actively experiencing psychotic symptoms or experiencing a mental health crisis that cannot be resolved remotely, it may be determined that telemental health services are not appropriate and a higher level of care is required.
- I understand that during a telemental health session, we could encounter technical difficulties resulting in service interruptions. If this occurs, end and restart the session. If we are unable to reconnect within ten minutes, please call us at 229-422-3661 to discuss since we may have to re-schedule.
