Effective for at least the next two weeks, I will not be present in my Somesville or Ellsworth locations and will be doing all work from home. I will be in touch with all scheduled clients about options for doing our appointments online or by phone. Be well everyone! Starting today, I will be posting CBT modules on Health Anxiety, which I highly recommend you reading and completing if you feel that you are struggling with the current events. I will also try to use this page to update you with factual information regarding the coronavirus. Take care and take caution!
