Christine Monteith, Mental Health/Co-Occurring Therapist

A great step forward for Oklahoma! https://oklahoman.com//new-oklahoma-law-will-require-menta

During this challenging time, some have put off seeking therapy because they were unable or did not want to use TeleHealth. This is understandable because technology is not always reliable, and sometimes, the connection between Therapist and Client is more difficult on a video screen. The good news, of course, is that people are starting to reassess their positions, and choosing to open doors again, in-person. Precautions in place, of course. So, if you have put off therapy, ...but now feel ready to move forward, please reach out. My practice is putting in a plan to open for in-person sessions, soon. Please don't hesitate to reach out and get scheduled. Even if you're scheduling ahead, it might be a good idea to set an appointment now, because once things are in full swing again, you may find it challenging to get an appointment with someone in the timeframe you prefer. Even if you are scheduling with someone else, please schedule. It's important to address mental health issues and challenges in a therapeutic manner so you can feel empowered and have the support you need. We are here to help.

The location where I practice is remaining open at this time (Strength of Mind). We are monitoring staff and clients, and if anyone appears ill or feels ill, even slightly, they are asked to remain home. The staff is heightening their cleaning/disinfecting practices, and we are accommodating those that want to come for services, but may be nervous by notifying them when they can come in directly to their therapist's office (rather than waiting in the common area, they wait in... their own car), and also, for those with coverage, we can offer Telemed options. If you need services, please continue to seek them. Mental health is considered a necessary service. We are here to help and support you. If you don't have someone, yet, please call to schedule with someone according to your coverage. If you need info for those with a sliding scale or free services, let me know and I can list a few on this page that I know about. Please do not sit at home, isolated, feeling as though you have no options. We are here. We are ready.
