Infection control practices for in-person sessions:

As convenient as virtual therapy has been for many of you, some have been wanting to return to in-person therapy and this is how we can do that while at the same time protecting immunocompromised, children under 12, and unvaccinated individuals in our community.

I will make sure to do the following:

• Disinfect surfaces between sessions

• Provide hand sanitizer for your use

• Run an Alen BreatheSmart FLEX True HEPA Air Purifier (H13) (which purifies up to 700 SqFt of air every 30 minutes, capturing 99.99% of airborne dust, allergens, and other contaminants)

• Provide option to open windows for free air flow

What I will ask of you: 

• Temperature check upon arrival

• Symptom/risk questionnaire

• Either verify proof of vaccination (once) or negative COVID test within the past 3 days.

This pandemic has taught me a lot about providing flexible therapy options to you to continue to address barriers to accessing mental health care.  I am happy to continue to listen to your ideas so that we can work together in the most comfortable way for you. 

Welcome back,

Dr. Stevens
