Telehealth

We Are Still Open and Accepting New Clients!

We continue to provide Individual and Group Sessions

with Tele-Health Services.

The outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) may be stressful for people. Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children. Loneliness and isolation can make symptoms worse. Coping with stress will make you and the people you care about stronger.

Stress during an infectious disease outbreak can include:

  • Fear and worry about your health and the health of your loved ones
  • Changes in sleep or eating patterns
  • Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
  • Worsening of chronic health problems
  • Worsening of mental health conditions
  • Increased use of alcohol or other drugs.

Telehealth appointments can make it easy for you if getting a traditional in-person appointment is a hassle for you. Telehealth makes it convenient for you to get the help you need without leaving your home or fighting traffic.

How does Telehealth work?

  • Call or email us to schedule an appointment
  • We will send you your intake paperwork electronically
  • HIPPA compliant video that allows us to interact with you face to face no matter your location.
  • We will be in a quiet and therapeutic environment during session.

 

What you will need to participate in Telehealth Services?

Thanks to modern technology, just about everyone has a smartphone or tablet that is capable of video chat. You are ready to participate in telehealth sessions if you have one of the following:

  • Smartphone (iPhone or Android)
  • Tablet (iPad or Android)
  • Laptop (Mac or PC) with a camera
  • Desktop computer (Mac or PC) with a camera

 

Contact us today to schedule your telehealth appointment.

 

Techniques to cope with stress

  • Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting.
  • Take care of your body.
    • Take deep breaths, stretch
    • Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals.
    • Exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep.
    • Avoid alcohol and drugs
  • Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities you enjoy.
  • Connect with others. Talk, text or video chat with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.
  • Find things to do/Distractions. Activities that can distract from current events can be helpful.
    • Household chores such as spring cleaning or organizing closets will give you a sense of accomplishment when completed.
    • Free online university courses and classes through sites such as coursera.org and khanacademy.org.
    • Movies are good distractions. Try Netflix or Hulu.
