All are welcome, but the focus of this practice is young adults and other individuals who are members of specialized populations.
Generally, this means people whose vocational, social and family environments have roles and rules that are often poorly understood by others.
For the last few years, most of this practices's caseload has consisted of college students. However, this practice also assists LGBTQI+ individuals, law enforcement professionals, members of the military (active duty, veteran, and reserves), members of disenfranchised communities, and those whose workplaces require unique social and/or vocational skills.
Often, people who are members of specialized populations are very concerned about privacand digital privacy in particular. That's why this practice does not store therapy notes in any online platform, and does not use any online practice management system.
Some basic information must be transmitted to insurance companies electronically if they pay for your treatment, and this can be reviewed more thoroughly during intake. Fees are paid through a secure HIPAA-compliant app, and the online app used for telehealth is also HIPAA-compliant. No form of digital communication is completely secure, but both of these applications are more private than most payment or video platforms.
This practice does not even store client names in "Contacts." If you are a CMC student, your appointment may appear on a shared calendar, but your name will not. You may be referred by a staff member at DOS or the CARE center, but no one will know whether you accepted the referral unless you choose to disclose this information to them.
