Dear Community,
As the corona virus (COVID19) continues to impact the world and our local community, we are all faced with many changes. One thing that does not change is
our commitment to you. Your well-being is our primary concern. We want our clients to continue to have the counseling and psychotherapy support you need in a way that keeps everyone safe.
Due to the rapidly evolving situation with COVID-19 and desire to follow the latest recommendations for enhanced social distancing at this virus inflection point, we have decided to move all sessions to telehealth as of Wednesday March 25th until public health directives allow a return to normal services. We are set up for simple, easy and secure video sessions or we can provide telephone sessions.
Please plan to keep all your scheduled sessions and discuss with your clinician the best modality for you. Regarding our cancellation policy: we will work with you around any necessary changes to your schedule the best we can. If you feel you are in crisis or feel you must have an in person session, please contact your therapist.
Our office will remain open, with confidential, virtual sessions by appointment only. You may call the main number 713 461-7599 x 0 or call your therapist if you have questions.
Stressful situations such as COVID 19 are a challenge to all of us. A wide range of emotional responses, including anxiety and distress, are normal in times like these. One of the most stressful features of this crisis is our sense of the unknown. Here in Houston, if we are facing a storm, we know how to prepare and a bit of what to expect. With a pandemic, the territory is unfamiliar. It is important to strike a balance. That means making wise choices, evaluating your risk factors and following the recommendations on how to best stay healthy. Meanwhile, there are a few things you can do to support your mental health. We encourage you to avoid excessive news watching or internet searches as these can lead to stress and anxiety. Practice the things that help you feel more calm and hopeful, like meditation or listening to music. Take a walk outside, away from crowds. Read a book from that stack you’ve been saving. Stay in touch with friends, via phone, text, FaceTime. As always, please reach out to us for support.
Wishing you and your family good health,
Jyl Scott-Reagan
