Scheduling Changes
During this State of Emergency, all sessions are being delivered over the phone or online. Online sessions take place inside the client portal. Get a sneak peek of what online sessions look like here.
You can schedule up to 4 hours in advance for a session. You can also choose 15 and 30 minute sessions for quick check-ins to keep you on track during an extremely stressful time. (It’s easier to keep the kids distracted for 15-30 minutes, or to find a private spot.)
Please continue to be safe and I’ll see you soon- either for an online session or once we are able to meet again in person!

The Background on Making this Decision
The three therapists who share our office space have decided to quarantine the office through the end of March to maximize safety for all of our clients. Though we have been extra vigilant about cleaning surfaces even more than we did- our hope is that any surfaces that may have been exposed to droplets that we may have missed will no longer contaminated after that time. We have gotten messages from our liability insurance carrier, the Governor’s office, and consulted with therapists in Pitt County and all over the nation.
Most people have a tear (or two) in the office, which means they touch their faces. Because this virus can be asymptomatic and shed (i.e. be passed) for 14+ days, there is a high chance of passing this on without any idea that any of us have it. I tried to think of ways to hold sessions in the office safely- like squirting Purel on everyone’s hands when they came in the door, texting clients to come in once the prior session ended- but I couldn’t figure out how to keep the furniture safe for the next person, or how to maintain the recommended space between you and me.
I know we’re all connected. That’s exactly what we talk about in the office. And I want to do my part to keep your family members who may be older, immunocompromised, or who are already on the front lines working during this time as safe as I can.
