COVID-19 Business Update

kTherapy with Katherine Allen, LMFT Posted on March 12, 2020 by Katherine AllenAugust 17, 2020

Sessions are continuing via telehealth only here at kTherapy and Brainspotting with Katherine.

All clients will be exclusively online until the physical distancing guidelines of the pandemic have been lifted and/or a safe and effective treatment has been developed and/or an effective and widely available vaccine has been developed.

We have set up video sessions to bridge the gap during the COVID-19 situation. I use the HIPAA-compliant version of Zoom (the popular video conferencing software) for these sessions. Zoom is free for clients to use.

The building management has 2 rounds of sanitation daily. They are using hospital-grade disinfectant to address all interior and exterior door handles as well as elevator buttons, restroom handles and fixtures, and handrails in all stairwells. This occurs around noon as well as around 8:00pm daily. Masks are mandatory in all common areas of the building. I share this just to assure current clients that I am keeping safe by still coming in to my office to run my telehealth sessions.

I still wash my hands 10+ times daily for a minimum of 40-seconds with soap, water, and then dry them thoroughly. I follow up with hand sanitizer as well, as needed.

________(old post follows…)__________

I am including the following video from DHMS as I feel it has great information and education. It is dated March 9 so the statistics are outdated, but the information is not.

This COVID-19 event will end, as all viral infection cycles do. I hope that we can all remain safe and measured in our response to this time and learn new methods of looking after one another that carry on long after it ends.

Sane Information regarding COVID-19 and the Upper Valley

kTherapy with Katherine Allen, LMFT Posted on March 4, 2020 by Katherine AllenMarch 19, 2020

There has been some fear reaction locally regarding COVID-19 and the one DHMC employee, who travelled from Italy recently, testing positive for the virus. There is one “presumptive” case that had close personal contact with the first person.

Clients are cancelling sessions fearful of “things happening around there” which is exactly what the CDC and medical professionals do NOT want to happen. Baseless fear is more toxic, causing paranoia of germs and other people, than a virus, especially to a healthy human.

The below video is a smart, fact-based discussion of the virus and how to keep yourself from contracting or spreading it. Note: masks don’t work.

Also, if by any chance I am contacted by DHMC that I am named as a person that someone with the virus has come into contact with, I will be the first one to immediately self-quarantine and inform every one of my clients personally.

Please don’t let fear and paranoia rule your lives.
