We are currently offering a hybrid treatment model which allows for both in-person and teletherapy sessions. Availability for each type of session varies depending on your individual therapist's schedule. Coverage for teletherapy is based on your individual insurance policy and the state in which you live.
Please read the "Insurance Coverage and Teletherapy" section below for details.
Continuing teletherapy allows us to maintain social distancing while continuing to monitor the situation and build an effective return-to-office plan based on the most up to date information.
These dates are subject to change based on virus progression and CDC/WHO recommendations.
We are using the Spruce Health app to provide additional layers of security for teletherapy sessions. We are committed to using this technology in order to maintain client confidentiality in its highest measures. If you have not received an invitation to join Spruce, please contact your therapist directly to request one.
Current clients can log into Spruce accounts at: www.sprucehealth.com.

Insurance coverage and teletherapy:
- United Healthcare created infrastructure for telehealth benefits prior to the pandemic and associated emergency orders. This will allow for the continuation of teletherapy services after states of emergency have been lifted. Clients with United insurance on either side of the stateline should be able to continue teletherapy services without disruption.
- Whereas earlier in the pandemic insurance coverage for Medicare appeared to be tied to state of emergency orders, this service appears to remain in place despite expiration of orders.
- Coverages are changing moment to moment, please contact your insurance provider for the most accurate, up to date coverage information.
When office visits resume, our safety protocols are as follows:
- Clients will be required to sign a waiver prior to first in-office appointment
- Sessions will be limited to 53 minute hours in order to allow ample time for cleaning office space between clients
- Clients are required to wear masks at all times inside clinic; therapists will also be wearing masks
- Clients will be required to utilize hand sanitizer before/after use of equipment (ie. buzzies, ball toss, etc.); all equipment will be wiped down with bleach wipes between clients
- All surfaces will be wiped with bleach wipes between clients
- These requirements may differ from safety protocols set in place by Foundational Concepts
