Mental Health
Matters

The Texas Medical Association and TMA Insurance Trust have partnered with Anticipate Joy, a groundbreaking mental health and wellness company, to give Texas physicians and their families access to free, confidential, HIPAA-compliant online counseling.

Designed to make getting support easier and more obtainable, this program helps remove common barriers—so care fits naturally into your life. Every session with your licensed counselor is private, judgment-free, and completely on your terms.

This program is available to all physicians practicing in Texas and their immediate family members.

How much does it cost?

There is no cost to you. This program is fully funded through the Texas Medical Association and a generous grant provided by TMA Insurance Trust. You may have as many sessions as needed, for as long as you need them.

Will the Texas Medical Board know I’m using this program?

No. Using this counseling program will not impact your medical license. The Texas Medical Association (TMA), TMA Insurance Trust, and the Texas Medical Board (TMB) are entirely separate organizations. They do not share information, nor will they have access to anything related to your counseling sessions.

Your privacy isn’t just respected—it’s kept fully confidential. What you share with your therapist stays between you and them. No one will know you’re using the program unless you choose to tell them. TMA will never have access to your personal information or counseling records. It is never shared with your employer, family, patients, peers, or any licensing authority.

Why is TMA offering this resource?

TMA recognizes the intense emotional weight physicians carry—both professionally and personally. This initiative is one way TMA and TMA Insurance Trust are working together to help ease that burden by offering access to real care, without judgment or red tape. When you're ready, you’ll find support waiting.

How do I begin?

Accessing support shouldn’t feel like another burden. Anticipate Joy uncomplicates the process with simple, straightforward steps:

• Enroll easily online by completing a brief intake form on the Anticipate Joy platform.
• Review available licensed therapists using filters and request one that best suits your needs.
• Choose how your sessions take place—by video, audio, or text—and a time that works for you and your therapist.
