Office Safety Precautions in Effect During the COVID Pandemic
CBM Psychological & Counselling Services is taking the following precautions to protect our staff and clients and help slow the spread of the coronavirus:
We are limiting the number of practitioners working at one time to allow for easier social distancing.
We are scheduling appointments in such a way to avoid or minimize clients coming into contact with each other in the wait room.
We ask all patients to wait in their cars or outside and to not arrive at the office until no earlier than 5 minutes before their appointment times.
Unless you are bringing your child, need special assistance, or are members of the same household who are BOTH attending the appointment, please arrive ALONE.
If you develop symptoms within our 24-hour cancellation period, please cancel and reschedule your appointment. You will not be charged for this.
Please review the Covid-19 checklist on the office door when you arrive for your appointment. If you answer yes to any of the items, do not enter the office. We will reschedule your appointment, again, at no cost to you.
Everyone is required to sanitize or wash their hands upon arriving for their appointments.
Soap dispensers and disposable paper towels are provided for your use.
Staff and therapists will maintain safe distancing and wear masks as needed.
Hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol is available in the therapy/testing rooms, and in the waiting room.
Pens and other high touch items/areas are thoroughly sanitized after each use.
Tissues and trash bins are easily accessible. Trash is disposed of regularly throughout the day.
Common areas are thoroughly disinfected after each client and at the end of each day.
