COVID-19 Statement (updated 6/17/2020):

C.R.E.A.T.E! continues to offer TeleHealth online counseling sessions exclusively through Doxy.me until further notice.  We are considering multiple factors before returning to in-person counseling, with safety in mind as well as clinical need.  At this time based on what we have observed, there could still be potential risks involved that would outweigh the benefits of returning to in-person sessions at this time.  Should this change, clients will be notified by their clinicians.

Doxy.me is a user-friendly, real-time, audio-video communcations platform that is HIPAA compliant and requires no download.  Sessions are best conducted via laptop and with reasonable WiFi strength.  To ensure clarity of service, please visit www.speedtest.net to see if your device meets the recommended speed of 1.0 mbps (or greater).

Please update your clinician on your current phone number and e-mail address.  They will send a link to you on the day of your scheduled appointment.  At your appointment time, click the link, and it will bring you to the virtual waiting room.  Once the clinician is ready, they will invite you in for an online session.  You will also be asked to sign an informed consent for TeleHealth services prior to your first TeleHealth session.

Telecommunications may be made on the clinician's private devices, and may be reaching you from a blocked or private number.  If you do not answer the call, they will leave a voicemail message.  Please ensure that your device is set up to accept calls from blocked or private numbers.  Please feel free to continue calling the office at 603-625-0010.  Office staff will regularly check the voicemail messages throughout the day during regular hours of operation. 

Also, in response, we have created an additional online offering, which is a free group regarding self-care.  Registration is required for each of them.  Please call the office at (603) 625-0010 leaving a voicemail message with your name, phone number, e-mail address, and the group you wish to attend.  The day of the meeting, an e-mail will be sent containing information for accessing the online group.  

We look forward to seeing you all back at the Castle in time.  Until then, we will stay connected through the newsletter, groups, and sessions. 

Blessings and health to you all,
