COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS/RISKS

The CDC continues to streamline its COVID-19 ​guidance to help people better understand ​their risk, to protect themselves and others, ​what actions to take if exposed to COVID-19, ​and what actions to take if they are sick or ​test positive for the virus.

The Therapy Cove is committed to following ​local, state, and federal guidelines regarding ​COVID-19.We offer telehealth services for ​those who would prefer to meet online from ​the convenience and safety of their home. ​Your decision to meet with your therapist in-​person means that you assume the risk of ​exposure to COVID-19 (or other public health ​risk). Despite careful attention to sanitation, ​social distancing and other protocols, there is ​still a chance that you will be exposed to ​COVID-19 in our office.
