IN EARLY MARCH 2020, WE CLOSED OUR DOOR TO FACE-TO-FACE COUNSELING AND PIVOTED TO TELEHEALTH SESSIONS SO THAT WE COULD CONTINUE TO SERVE OUR CLIENTS. WE SAW A 65% INCREASE IN CLIENT SESSION HOURS RESULTING IN HIRING OF ADDITIONAL STAFF AND BRING ON TWO MASTER'S LEVEL INTERNS TO MEET THE NEED. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2022, WE CONTINUE SEEING CLIENTS VITUALLY, AND WE WILL SEE VACCINATED CLIENTS IN PERSON FOLLOWING THE CDC GUIDELINES. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP CLIENTS HEIGHTEN THEIR SELF-AWARENESS, SO THAT THEY ARE EQUIPPED TO MAKE MORE EFFECTIVE, PROTECTIVE LIFE CHOICES AND TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO COPE WITH DAILY, AS WELL AS UNEXPECTED STRESSES. OUR THERAPISTS HELP CLIENTS' PROCESS DEVELOPMENTAL AND TRAUMA-RELATED EXPERIENCES THAT SHAPE HOW THEY PROCESS THE WORLD AND RELATE TO OTHERS BY EXPLORING THEIR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND BEHAVIORS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH. WE SERVE THE INSURED, UNINSURED AND POORLY INSURED, AND OFFER A SLIDING FEE SCALE FOR CLIENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE FULL COST OF MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING.
