COVID-19 UPDATE:


​To My Dear Clients,

As healthcare professionals, the health and well-being of our clients and their loved ones has always and will always be our top priority.  We are experiencing an unprecedented chain of events in our country, and difficult decisions are being placed before us. 
 
After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that we must temporarily close our office for 1-on-1 in person sessions beginning March 17, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  As much as I dislike having to do this, I feel this is the safest measure to take to protect our clients and our community.

My goal is to reopen October 1 for in person sessions; but as you know, this event is an ever-changing landscape and it is our duty to take into account the greater good of the population as well as the clients we serve. 
I promise to keep you informed of any changes by phone as I still maintain the same office hours for communication; so please, feel free to reach out. 

I am also available via a HIPAA compliant platform for telehealth sessions - for EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY.

Assuming we reopen October 1, with guidance from health experts, the CDC, and the behavioral health community, new precautions and procedures have been implemented. My goal is to always provide you, your families, and our community with the safest possible environment. Thus, during this time, we are keeping the following practices:

- You must come alone to your appointment. No visitors may accompany you; no exceptions.
- Please wait in your car upon arrival to our office and notify us by text/phone that you have arrived for your appointment. You MUST fill out a screening form prior to exiting your vehicle/entering the office as well as allowing us to do a temperature check. You will then be led straight back via the front door or the private side door entrance (to your preference).
- While we love and value each of our clients, handshakes and hugs may be replaced with an air fist or whatever air motions you would like :) for the time being.
- If you have cough, fever, or chills, please call our office to discuss how to reschedule or conduct a telehealth session.
- Hand sanitizer and disposable surgical masks are available at our office for you to wear during your session.

I realize these precautions err more on the side of caution; but prevention is how we can protect others and be our best selves. 

I want to thank you for your patience and understanding during this stressful and unpredictable time. 
It is always my honor and privilege to serve your needs and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Please stay well and take care of yourself and your loved ones!  

​- Tina Clayton​

When faced with obstacles in life, you do not have to face these issues alone - there is a licensed professional that is available to help guide you through this time. I understand that seeking therapy can sometimes be a scary, daunting task.

However, it can also be what transforms your life and where healing begins.

While relaxing in the safe space of my office, expect a warm and accepting environment that is free from judgment. My priority is to LISTEN; this is your outlet to feel supported and to speak freely and honestly.
You will be guided in overcoming what troubles you while being provided with the tools to overcome and clear past and current issues to move forward.
Allow yourself the possibility of being at peace with a future that is different, hopeful, and fulfilling.
