Tiana is now *officially* a certified therapy dog. She is assisting in sessions on a case-by-case basis and she loves her job! 😎

Beginning Monday, July 6th, in-person counseling services will resume. 🎉 Things will look a little different in the office, such as socially distanced seating and increased cleaning/disinfectant procedures, but I am looking forward to having face-to-face contact again soon! 😀

These are unusual times we are currently living, but resiliency is defined as the ability to adapt to challenging or unexpected situations. In the spirit of resilience, as well as in order to comply with Governor Kate Brown’s most recent recommendations, beginning tomorrow (March 17th) I will be offering appointments by telehealth (video-conferencing) ONLY. This change is temporary, but will last for a yet to-be-determined amount of time.

After a great deal of research, especially after hearing the horrific reports of what is happening within the healthcare system in Italy, I currently fully support social distancing and efforts to “flatten the curve.” For more information on this, I suggest that you read: https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/03/a-covid-19-coronavirus-update-from-concerned-physicians.html).

Thank you for your flexibility in this time of uncertainty and, as always, please reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Stay safe!

The actions you take starting today will save the lives of people you will never meet.

Hi, my name is Tiana. I am a 9 month old Golden Retriever. I started my new job as a therapy dog today (well, actually, it was more like orientation) and I LOVED it. I still have some more learning to do, but I can’t wait to go back. 💕
