Effective Monday, March 16th, 2020 all sessions will occur through a web portal, unless absolutely necessary, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Clients will take the following steps:
(1) Identify an area in your home that is private. Some moms use their cars because that is the only way they can get privacy.
(2) Make sure your device has a camera, microphone, and web connection. Mobile phones work fine.
(3) Visit https://doxy.me/myhope
(4) Enter your name and wait for the session to begin.
(5) You know I am always running 5-10 minutes behind, teletherapy won’t change this. Corona won’t change this. Nothing. Will Ever. Change. This.
Why are you doing this? Do I smell bad or something?
No. The office is located in the hospital, social distancing is being strongly recommended and I don’t want your family to get sick.
When can we meet face to face, your office is awesome and I love watching the same infomercial on the lobby TV over and over again?
When this thing calms down. Who knows? Getting enough test kits so we could figure out real numbers would be a good start. My guess is 2- 4 weeks but I’m not sure.
What can I expect to be different?
You already know I have a really round and really big head – you’ll be reminded of that more as it will take up 90% of the window you will see me on during our session. Also, I may be more self-conscious about not shaving.
What does “unless absolutely necessary” mean?
(1) You and I are both feeling well.
(2) You don’t have a way to do teletherapy
(3) That we both determine the cost-benefit to an in-person session is worth it.
