Due to the initial issues with COVID-19, In One Peace moved to telehealth sessions only. Though this was a difficult transition at first, there have been several benefits to the practice.
-We don’t have to worry about at risk patients contracting COVID in the office
-It has made accessing therapy easier for some people because they don’t have to leave their home/work to schedule it in
-Patients have been able to provide a visual for issues as they happen or where they happen, allowing Dr. Dorland to have more insight and provide better solutions
-The previous office was small; doing therapy there with a mask the entire time would be less genuine than seeing each other on the screen up close
At this time there is no plans to resume in person sessions.
