Milestone Counseling LLC has always been committed to providing mental health care in a clean and healthy environment. Although we are considered an essential business and have been allowed to continue in-person services throughout the state-sanctioned stay-at-home order, in March we opted to transition fully to telehealth to do our part in promoting social distancing. As our state begins to open back up, we feel it is important to promote not only physical health, but also mental health. There are many secondary consequences to continued social isolation that we are deeply concerned about. In light of that, we will be transitioning back to office-based sessions at Milestone Counseling in May and June.

Our health and safety protocols are meant to promote both physical and mental health during this time and include the following:

• We have eliminated all fidget toys and other high touch items from our rooms and are following CDC recommended cleaning protocols daily and between clients.
• If you would like to avoid the main café entrance, you may utilize the back door to enter and exit the facility. You may remain in your car and your clinician will meet you at the back door at your appointment time.
• If you or anyone in your immediate family is ill, exhibiting symptoms, or has been exposed please do NOT come into the office. Please let us know ASAP if you are not able to make a scheduled appointment in order to avoid cancellation fees and so that we can plan accordingly.
• In order to minimize the number of people in the office, please do NOT bring friends or family members who are not participating in the session except as needed for assistance.
• We will continue to offer telehealth services as an option for your sessions if you prefer. Most insurance companies are covering this service through May 31, 2020.
• Please double-check with your individual clinician for their specific availability (office vs telehealth) as this does vary by clinician.
