COVID-19 response

In  person therapy sessions are still available as per the CRPO and Government of Ontario. Please ensure that all infection control protocols are in place. You will not be allowed to enter the office if you are feeling unwell, have travelled outside Canada in the last 14 days and/or have been in contact with someone who is pending covid-19 test results or has contracted covid-19.

Progressive steps is now offering therapy session via telephone or video calls. As per CRPO recommendation virtual care is advised in order to ensure all parties are as safe as possible during the pandemic. This method has proven to be just as effective as in person sessions for most and allows you to reach out and talk to a professional from the comfort of your own home.

If a client has seen a therapist in person and tests positive for covid-19 within a certain time frame please note that Progressive Steps Counselling and Psychotherapy has a legal obligation to report this information to the ministry of health and answer any further questions they may ask. If this happens be aware that only the basic necessary information will be shared and the reason for the visit will not be disclosed.
