Continuity Without Replacement

Coverage is time-limited and collaborative. Our role is to support clients during your absence — not to replace the existing therapeutic relationship.

How It Works

Temporary coverage provides short-term, interim support focused on stabilization and continuity of care during a defined absence. Services are time-limited and may defer longer-term or specialized treatment until the client returns to their established clinician. Here’s a look at the process:

Check In IconClient Referral & Intake – Clients complete intake and informed consent with our practice before services begin.
Clock IconTemporary Treatment Period – Care focuses on stabilization, support, and continuity aligned with existing treatment goals when appropriate.
Heart Handshake IconTransition Back to You – When you are ready to return, we support a clinically appropriate and thoughtful transition.
