The recent outbreak of Covid-19 has forced many businesses to take precautionary measures, including ours. We have been put into a position where we must discontinue face-to-face counseling services.  Azimuth Counseling has a desire to meet the needs of all our current clients at this unique time in their lives.  Azimuth is cancelling all in person office visits as of Wednesday, March 18,2020. Azimuth has not made this decision lightly and is hoping to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

 

Realizing our services are important and needed during these times, we are enabling the ability to provide remote counseling over the internet.

However, with that said, it is important that we maintain compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and respect the privacy of the individuals with whom we are collaborating.

 

We have chosen Microsoft Teams® as the video/audio collaborative application to use for remote counseling. This application is compatible with MacOS, Windows, Linux, iPadOS, IOS, and Android allowing installation on most all devices.  The Microsoft Teams - Directions for Clients document available on Our Forms page will describe how to download, setup and use the application.

 

We will resume office visits, hopefully, within the next couple of weeks and we will regularly post updates on this website and our Azimuth Counseling Facebook page.

 

At this time, we are asking all current clients to download the Microsoft Teams® App, if you desire to receive counselling in this manner. Within the next few days, you will be contacted with an appointment time and directions on how to access your appointment.

 

Peace to you,

Christine Wilkens, LCMHC, NCC, YYT-200
