Renee Slaven LICSW PLLC

Due to the on-going concerns with COVID-19, I would like to take a moment to reassure you that I am addressing our health and safety! 

At this time, I am offering only very limited in-person sessions at my office and will currently freeze any change in this decision until further notice. As a reminder, I am asking that all individuals who are attending in-person sessions self-screen at time of session for COVID-19 symptoms which include:

1. Have you experienced any of the following symptoms in the past 48 hours not normal to you:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea

2. Within the past 14 days, have you been in close physical contact (6 feet or closer for a cumulative total of 15 minutes) with:

• Anyone who is known to have laboratory-confirmed COVID-19? OR
• Anyone who has any symptoms consistent with COVID-19?

3. Have you traveled outside the state in the last 14 days?

If you answer yes to any of the above, I ask that you cancel your in-person appointment and we can discuss changing it to a TeleHealth appointment.

Keeping My Office Clean and Safe

In combination with our regular contracted cleaning service, I am currently sanitizing frequently touched contact services between clients. Hand sanitizer is widely available for use. Additionally, I have increased circulation of air in the office via fans and an air purifier. We are able to socially distance in both my office, as well as use of the waiting room for session use.

Additional Policies:

• Clients are asked to wait in their car until waved in. Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes before you session
• The waiting room and play room are currently closed and office doors are locked
• Clients are asked to limit non-essential guests with them to session.
• Mask wearing is required for both clients and clinician
• Please use hand sanitizer or wash your hands in the restroom prior to the start of session
• Beverage Bar is currently closed 

As a clinical social worker deeply comitted to social justice, I value not only you rindividual well-being, but also our collective well-being. This means taking care of folks with underlying health conditionss, those with chronic illness, and those who are vulnerable.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
