**UPDATED COVID-19 Policies (April 2021)
We are proud to announce that the entire Therapy Etc team is fully vaccinated! As such, you will notice that our therapists are no longer wearing masks in the office. If you or someone in your household is high risk and hasn’t received a vaccination yet, your therapist would be happy to wear a mask at your request. All other Covid-19 policies are remaining in place to ensure everyone’s safety.
