COVID-19
To our valued clients at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA NY):
Although we are no longer in the midst of the pandemic, it's effects are lasting. In consideration of our clients' needs, the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety NY has made the decision that we will conduct psychotherapy sessions both through HIPAA-secure videoconference and/or in-person meetings, per client preference. We require clients to wear masks in our common spaces and encourage wearing masks during in-person sessions. If you would like more information about this, please contact us at info@newenglandocd.org.
At NECOA, we understand that there are many unknowns about COVID-19. As a team of providers, we aim to be consistent with public health goals around client safety. As recent research on telepsychology (psychotherapy via teleconference) has shown that telepsychology is generally as helpful as its in-person equivalent, we believe that our continued use of telepsychology at this time will be a way to protect individual and public health that should also support good treatment progress and outcomes.
​
May you be well. May you and your family be safe and healthy.
