Update on 5/25/20: This has been an interesting time in our community as well as our nation and our world. CFT is continuing to take the utmost precaution as we continue into Phase 2 of reentry into our social norms. Our therapists continue to offer telehealth. We are also beginning to see some clients in the office again with the following social distancing precautions in place:
- Please stay in your vehicle or wait outside until the time of your appointment. This way we can avoid multiple clients in the waiting room at one time. You are welcome to make your way in at your appt time or arrange for your therapist to message you when he/she is ready for the appt.
- If you use the restroom facility at our office, please wash your hands thoroughly and open the door with a paper towel.
- Please do not come to an in person session if you are feeling unwell.
- Please sit or stand at a distance with others you come in contact with while at our office
- If you have to cough or sneeze, please do so by covering your mouth with your upper arm or elbow
- Opening office windows for air circulation when weather allows
We also are continuing to take these appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of our clinicians and clientele:
- We are sanitizing our offices with specialized cleaning supplies multiple times per week. If you need the comprehensive list of supplies used due to allergens/other health reasons, I am happy to forward that list to you.
- We are taking extra precautions including sanitizing doorknobs throughout the day, spraying our couches with thieves essential oil spray, diffusing thieves in our individual offices and providing infused wipes and handsanitzer for clients and staff as needed.
- We are also putting away blankets, fidget toys and stress balls and any other items that are commonly shared among clients for the time being.
- We are committing to you as our clientele that as clinicians, we will only attend in person sessions with you if we (and those in our household) are feeling physically well and symptom free.
- We are encouraging clients who are feeling unwell to participate in telehealth sessions or postpone sessions to a later date. We still offer the option of telehealth (phone or HIPPA compliant video sessions) as alternative to in office therapy sessions. If you are interested in this alternative to in office care, reach out to your respective clinician.
It has been truly amazing to see so many individuals and families with such dedication to their emotional and relational health during this challenging time. We will grow stronger through this together.

Update on 3/24/20: Our counseling team just made the decision to go to video counseling/telehealth only for the next two weeks starting on Tuesday, 3/24/20. Thus, we will not be in our office until 4/6/20 at the earliest, but we will continue to see clients online. We listened to the governor today and just thought that with everything going on, it is important for us to protect our clients and everyone who enters our office from exposure to the coronavirus.
Telehealth Option: Many of our clinicians use the VSee Messenger platform for video sessions, but we are flexible with other options like FaceTime or Zoom. You are welcome to download VSee in preparation for the event that you have a session via video. Once you download the application, you will create a user account and let your clinician know your username. Your clinician will send you a contact request, which you can accept prior to the session. VSee can also be used for group therapy. Let your clinician know if you have questions about this option.
