Update on Our Services During COVID Pandemic

Our focus will remain on telehealth through the summer

The health and safety of our community and staff have been our top priority during the pandemic. Through this summer we are continuing to mainly offer our vital mental health services via phone and video (telehealth). Call our Call-in Clinic to access care.

Limited in-person individual counseling is available

As vaccination rates increase and community spread decreases, we are also beginning to offer a limited number of individual counseling sessions in person inside our Main Office. Please note that wait times for this service may be longer than for care via telehealth, and all intakes will still take place via our Call-in Clinic. Call us at (434) 872-0047 to learn more.
