ARCHIVED-Soft reopening announcement

Hello Wonderful Creatively Clients!


This week it has been 3 months since we have closed our doors at Creatively, due to an unprecedented, global health crisis. It has been a scary, uncertain time full of survival, challenge and unknown.  We all have individual stories in a complex web of universal experience of this terrible pandemic, all doing the best we know how.


I am excited, worried, protective of mine, yours and all of us, but mostly hopeful, to announce, that in this third-month-a-versary, as throughout Howard County, Maryland and beyond, things begin to reopen, I will slowly and carefully do the same.  Just like my closing involved several announcements and steps, I will surely do so in reopening, and this announcement will be number one of more to come.  For now- this post outlines my plan:


Out of an abundance of caution, and the ability to provide services over the internet, I will be maintaining the vast majority of appointments as telehealth services for now. That means, for those of you that are comfortable and able to continue receiving your services from me over the telehealth, I ask you to continue to do so.  For those of you whose occupations and/or whose loved ones’ occupations put you in a category of higher risk of exposure to COVID-19, I also ask you to continue with telehealth appointments at this time.  


I will be opening a limited number of in-person appointments starting June 20.  They will be prioritized based upon need.  Factors considered will be things like insurance that temporarily approved coverage of telehealth services terming that coverage as businesses reopen, or clinical necessity as deemed by both of us. If these things are impacting you, you are the reason I am opening in person sessions. Please do not hesitate to ask me for my next in-person appointment.


If you are seeking to resume in-person sessions, there are some things we need to talk about.  All in-person sessions during a pandemic assume a certain level of risk.  As such, I will be asking you to review and sign an informed consent about this risk.  All in person appointment attendees will be asked to wear a mask, wash/disinfect their hands before entering the appointment, answer a brief health questionnaire, maintain social distance at all times, and wait for their scheduled appointment in their cars rather than the waiting room. You can review all this information, as well as other requirements and the health questionnaire by clicking the button below. 


If you are ready for your in person visit, I will be so happy to see you. If you are ready to continue your virtual visits, I will be so happy to see you.  I am optimistic about a healthy future and proud of you for surviving this uncertain time together.


Yours in health and creativity,


Cindy
