You guys, I got the 'Rona!

​By: Mary Torres, M.A., LMHC, NCC

I am not loving how tired I am right now. One little thing and I'm spent. Never a better time to make some of the big changes we need to make around the old office.

As of today I'm planning to take two weeks off of work and let all the fabulous people I've gathered around me to take really great care of me and my clients. I think this will allow me to make my commitments to the interns and associates for their supervision. If you told me a year ago that I would have confidence in my staff to this measure I would not have believed you. I have such faith in their office and counseling skills. Please trust them like I do!

At this time the best help you can give me to recover from Covid is to transition your care to one of my staff therapists, associates, or interns. Covid has shown us that we can work remotely and that insurance companies can be flexible. Work with our office and please consider one of these options.

Option 1. Since we are a teaching facility, this might be a great time to transition your care to one of our interns or associates who are under my supervision. They all have open schedules, and some are able to take insurance.

Option 2.  Sign up for our next Intermediate Outpatient Group (IOP).  We have had such success with out Intensive Outpatient Groups that we are restructuring them to be less time commitment but still have the same program and successes we’ve seen in the current IOP. 

Sometimes we rest and sometimes we're forced to rest.  These changes aren't really new for us but just moved up in the timeline.

Thanks for your prayers. I'll post here to keep you up to date.
