WE ARE PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING

We encourage people to follow the CDC’s and WHO’s recommendations. If you have concerns about your physical health and safety please consult with your physician to figure out the best options for yourself and your family.

Seek Help Early

If you are noticing high levels of depression and/ or anxiety or rumination (circular thinking you can’t turn off) about current events, consider asking for help. Psychotherapy is a way to connect with someone and build on skills to take care of yourself and build a plan to manage symptoms, thoughts, and experiences you are dealing with.

Telehealth Therapy

Even with the need to self-quarantine, there may be options for teletherapy, a way to remotely do psychotherapy. This is accomplished with a HIPPA-compliant and secure video or audio “call” with a therapist. Teletherapy may not be appropriate for all cases. However, during the pandemic all insurances are welcome. Check with your therapist to see what options are available.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID-19

How to prevent the spread of COVID-19?

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Learn how COVID-19 spreads and practice these actions to help prevent the spread of this illness.

  • Get a COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available to you.
  • Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and
    stop the spread of COVID-19.

    for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at
    least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then
    throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and
    surfaces daily.

  • If you have a medical appointment, notify your
    healthcare provider ahead of time that you have or
