The Clinical Partner
for Cases That
Cannot Afford Gaps.
When your client's mandate includes therapy, FVE, or anger management, you need a provider who delivers — compliant documentation, proactive communication, and clinical programming that actually works.
Who We Serve
Built for Every Role
in the System.
We understand that every professional at this table has different documentation requirements, different timelines, and different stakes. We built our referral process to work for all of them.
Attorneys
Whether your client has a court-ordered therapy requirement, needs FVE or anger management to satisfy a condition of probation, or is navigating a custody dispute with a clinical component — we provide the documentation your case requires, in the format courts expect, on the timeline you need.
Probation Officers
We understand your reporting requirements and your clients' compliance conditions. When a probation order includes mental health treatment, FVE, or anger management, we begin programming promptly and communicate proactively — so you always know where your client stands in the process.
CPS Caseworkers
Family reunification cases require a clinical provider who understands both the systemic pressures on families and the documentation standards CPS requires. We provide trauma-informed family and individual therapy, FVE programming, and structured court reports designed to support your case plan.

Common Questions
What Referral Partners
Most Often Ask.
Upon program completion, we issue a completion certificate formatted for court submission, a final summary confirming the client's attendance and participation, and — when the client's written authorization is on file — a copy to any required parties, including the court, probation officer, attorney, or CPS caseworker. If your office requires a specific format, let us know at the time of referral and we will confirm it is workable.
FVE programming length varies based on the client's mandate and the program format. At the time of referral, please include the required number of hours or sessions specified in the court order or service plan. We will confirm the expected timeline before intake is completed and keep you updated on progress throughout.
The length of the anger management program is determined by the mandate. Most court orders or probation conditions specify a set number of sessions or hours. If your client's order does not specify, we can recommend a standard structure at intake. We confirm the required length before beginning, track attendance throughout, and provide documentation at the intervals your case requires.
They are related but not interchangeable. Anger management focuses on emotional regulation, de-escalation, and behavioral tools for managing anger before it causes harm — it is broadly applicable to conflict situations. Family Violence Education focuses specifically on family violence dynamics, safety, accountability, and the patterns that show up in relationships where harm has occurred. If a client's mandate specifies one, they must complete that specific program. Substituting one for the other will not satisfy the legal requirement. If the order wording is unclear, we can help determine which applies — or advise the client to seek clarification from their attorney.
Yes. We regularly begin working with clients at various points in their legal process. If a client is transferring from another provider, we will need documentation of sessions already completed so we can determine what remains. Submit the referral with as much context as possible — including how many hours or sessions have already been completed — and we will review it before confirming intake.
We will notify you proactively if a client misses a session and falls behind on compliance. You will not need to chase us for this information. Attendance records are available upon written authorization, and we will flag any participation concerns before they become a compliance problem for your case.
Yes, with the client's written authorization. Once a signed release is on file that specifically authorizes communication with your office, the court, or another party in the case, we can communicate directly, send documentation, and respond to status inquiries. All releases must comply with HIPAA, Texas HB 300, and — when substance use records are involved — 42 CFR Part 2.
Yes. All records are protected under HIPAA and Texas Health and Safety Code (Texas HB 300). When a client is receiving services that involve substance use — which may apply to clients with LCDC-relevant concerns — those records are also protected under 42 CFR Part 2, a stricter federal standard that requires specific written authorization before any disclosure. We will inform you at intake if 42 CFR Part 2 applies to your client's records.
Professional Enough
to Be Trusted by the Court.
Human enough to be felt by the person sitting across from me. When you refer a client to Brain & Heart Healing, you are not just checking a compliance box — you are connecting them with a clinician who will actually show up.
