Cascade Counseling

As Trump threatens to shut down the 988 su***de hotline for LGBTQ+, here is the number for a specialized su***de hotline 1-877-330-6366.

During this time of caution, each therapist in our office is doing their part. Please be aware that the Lake Tye building as a whole is being monitored and wiped down multiple times a day. Within our office, we are spraying and wiping down surfaces a couple times a day and have hand sanitizer available for you.

We are still open for business and if you are healthy, you are still welcome to come to your session, although Telehealth sessions may be provided by your clinician if you would prefer to not risk exposure. But please; If you have been exposed to the Coronavirus, or are experiencing a fever, cough, difficulty breathing, DO NOT COME IN. Check with your clinician to see if telehealth sessions are available.

Some of our clinicians have opted to do Telehealth only, so please contact your therapist if you are not sure. Also, it would be helpful if our current clients please call your insurance company to verify that they cover Telehealth sessions at this time.

We’re on a very strange and uncharted timeline right now and it’s pretty normal to have no idea how to feel, or what we’re supposed to be doing in any given moment. The only real suggestion I have, as a therapist and a human being, is simple but important: default to kindness.

We’re all going through a whole lot right now, everywhere on earth, and we have to think of ourselves as being all in this together, looking out for each other, checking in with each other, and being kind to the people (from best friends to strangers) that we interact with as we find our way through all of this. It won’t solve the crisis, or whatever anxieties you may have about the upcoming days/months, but it sure goes a long way towards making everything feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Humans have such enormous capacity for good, and so often rise to meet the occasion, and I’m seeing that everywhere around me these past few days, everywhere I look. So try to think of kindness and checking in with people as being as important right now as washing your hands and not touching your face. Because psychologically, it is.

We are excited to introduce our newest clinician, Kyle Gerry. He is in our office on Monday, Wedesday-Friday and currently has openings. Check out his page on our website. www.cascadecounselingmonroe.com
