Please note that our protocols were modified on November 19, 2020 to adhere to new recommendations on mask-wearing in common areas.

 

Movement Protocols are established that adhere to occupancy limits and distancing rules.  Protocols pathways and routines for pre-session, to-session, and post-session include:

​

Pre-Session

• Both therapist and client are required to wear a mask while moving to the counselling room. 

• Therapist opens door wide and stands outside offering safe distance for client to enter.

• Before entering, therapist asks checklist questions to client.  If protocols not met, therapist invites client to alternative remote session (phone from car, Doxy from car, or re-schedule)
   

To-Session

• Therapist instructs client to enter the office and proceed directly to therapy room after utilizing provided sanitation gel on counter.

• If going upstairs, therapist instructs client to proceed up the stairwell and to utilize sanitation gel on counter upon entering the large room

• Therapist follows behind client at safe distance

• If upstairs, (therapist closes doors behind after passing through)

• Mask may be removed for session

​

Post-Session

• At the completion of the session, both the therapist and the client must wear a mask to exit.

• Therapist finishes appointment at 50 minutes to provide time for wipe-down protocols

• Therapist exits room before client and asks client to follow at safe distance

• Therapist opens front door and walks outside to hold door at safe distance for exiting client.

• If upstairs (since several doors are passed through, therapist props all doors open upon exit, keep doors open for exiting client and entry of next client).
