Service updates due to CoVID-19
Commitment to Service & Safety
With the ongoing concerns related to COVID-19, and the CDC's efforts to lessen the spread and impact of the virus, I have been conducting teletherapy via a HIPAA compliant service. Due to my concern about the well being of my clients and the community at large, I will continue to provide teletherapy, as appropriate, while working to re-open my office safely and in accordance with CDC recommendations.
For those who desire to participate and/or re-engage in office visits, I will be asking you to following CDC precaution recommendations as well and the use of a face covering upon entering the building.
I appreciate your patience as our state and federal governments enact re-opening plans, the process of re-opening the office safely and your willingness to follow CDC recommendations to promote reduction in risk.
Please note that with the government re-opening of businesses and the potential changes to the current state of emergency many insurance companies may return to their previous, pre COVID-19, coverage within your policy, as such teletherapy may or may not be covered. Therefore, I recommend that you contact your insurance company to verify this service if available to you on an ongoing basis.
For information about how to manage COVID-19 Prevention and illness please go to the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
This is a difficult time for many especially with increased isolation, please reach out for help via online services, talk with family and friends, exercise, eat well, maintain some semblance of a schedule to promote as much normalcy as possible, and remember to engage in activities that are enjoyable and that make you laugh as it promote stress management and overall health. Most of all be kind to yourself, give yourself permission to do things differently, as life has changed unexpectedly. Praise your accomplishments and accept your feelings and limitations, not as failures, but as normal responses to the unknown.
