We are here to help.
All of us at Pocono Counseling know that the mental health effects of COVID-19 are as important to address as are the physical health effects. To ensure the safety of our clients and our clinicians we will be offering Teletherapy services to continue to offer much needed support during these uncertain times. Many insurance plans now cover teletherapy services, however, not all. We recommend calling your insurance carrier to verify coverage. If you are already an established client and are interested in using teletherapy services please contact your therapist. If you are new to our practice, please call our office at (570) 620-4311 for more information.
