Notice
Greetings, and congrats on making it to 2021! This notice is important for all existing clients. Please read it fully.
Many will remember that my own office location moved in Spring of 2019. This office lease is ending in May 2021. In fact, they are demolishing the office park, so I must change location again.
In addition, due to pandemic shutdowns and guidelines, revenue from in-person clients hasn't been paying the monthly lease. Currently, nationwide it seems most clients continue preferring teletherapy. This may be a trend. Leasing a new office would therefore be a gamble, and new variants of the coronavirus could shut the office down yet again. It is important to me that therapy remain accessible to everyone through this trying time.
THEREFORE, as of May 3rd, 2021…
OFFICE: I’m moving to a home office about 1/4 mile from the current office. Your privacy and safety are important, of course, and considered in every facet of this plan. The primary difference is that there is a small stairway leading to the front door. The foyer will act as a waiting room. The home office and bathroom are right beside the front door. The office has been reconstructed with privacy in mind. Directions will be emailed before your first in-person visit.
SCHEDULING: The calendar will allow you to specify appointments as either in-office, or teletherapy. Please be clear about what type you are scheduling. Please do not schedule video and come to the office without changing the appointment type or notifying me. Occasionally, you will find a block of time that can be scheduled for one type but not the other. If the slot only allows you to schedule video, that means the office is closed to in-person appointments during that time. Talk to me if there is an issue with this.
RATES: Rates for all clients and all 50-minute sessions are $50. All 90-minute appointments (including initial intakes) are $100. Because I want therapy to remain affordable through this trying time, I do not plan to review these rates until May 2022. No-Show rates will be charged when an appointment is missed with less than 24 hours notice. In fairness, if I miss an appointment without 24 hours notice, for any reason, your next session is free.
GRATITUDE: I very much appreciate that we are all wrestling with issues related to COVID-19. I am grateful for your understanding and flexibility as the national health system struggles with a rapidly changing landscape. More people are flocking to internet-based solutions. However, I remain committed to providing a warm, inviting space for actual human presence!
Please let me know if you have any particular concerns or questions.
