NEW: Teletherapy Services Now Available

Teletherapy is now covered by most insurance companies.

 

One-on-One Therapy for Relationships, Parenting, Anxiety, and More

Help when you need it. Right from your home.

Anxiety, stress, fear and uncertainty. These all can be exacerbated during a time of crisis, such as we are facing with the Coronavirus.

Please contact us with questions or call 847.759.9110 x 1 to schedule an appointment.

Government actions include Mental Health in the State of Emergency responses, specifically these new guidelines for telehealth: Notification of Enforcement Discretion for telehealth remote communications during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency.

We care about your health and the health of our staff. As a result, we are now offering a wide range of teletherapy services.

The Juniper Center has trained professionals available who can work with you through phone, FaceTime, and video conferencing for counseling and therapy. On our end, we use Zoom for Healthcare, a secure and private (and HIPAA compliant) platform. On your end, you can use your computer, tablet, smart phone or any device with a screen that allows you to access the internet.

Virtual Therapy Groups

Group therapy allows you to interact with others with similar issues in a safe, supportive environment, led by a trained and licensed therapist.

The Juniper Center is working to anticipate needs and fill gaps for people who may have lost their support network now that we are sheltering-in-place.

People who were processing grief from a loss; teens who had a standing lunch drop-in group with the school guidance counselor, increased anxiety and isolation. We have started virtual therapy groups to support these different needs.

Tension Tamer Live Fridays

Feeling scared, anxious or isolated? We don’t want you to feel alone. Join us for Tension Tamer Live Fridays.

Zoom in to connect with others who have similar feelings. This is all new for all of us. Here’s a way to relate to others in a mutually supportive way, while also gaining self-care tools we can all use.

Click to join by Zoom to do a calming exercise to use at home, led by The Juniper Center Counseling and Therapy.

Every Friday, 10 to 10:30 am thru May 8.

Tension Tamer Live Fridays is free to participate but requires registration in advance. Please share and invite friends, family, neighbors or anyone who might be isolated and need a moment to connect with others, recenter and keep tension at bay.

Visit the Tension Tamers Live Page to register.

The Juniper Center on YouTube

Visit The Juniper Center for recordings of past Tension Tamers Live sessions and other breathing and centering exercises to do at home. You’ll also find Dr. Jacquot’s “Mom to Mom” Series, with advice on parenting, including the tough topics as your kids become teens. (And, a good one for sheltering at home…”how not to take the bait” and navigate conflict with your teenager.)

See all the videos here. 

See how it works (and learn a calming exercise you can use at home).

Please join me this Friday, March 20, from 10 am to 10:30 am to see how therapy works via video conferencing. I will lead you in a brief calming exercise that you can use at home, followed by a chance for you to ask questions about teletherapy.*

Please share this link with your friends and family, especially those who are alone, isolated or feeling worried. And feel free to share widely: We are licensed to provide teletherapy services across the state of Illinois.

This is new territory for everyone, and it is natural to feel on edge. This will be a chance to connect virtually with others in community, as people are spending more time at home.

We hope you will join us on Friday for the calming exercise and to ask questions about teletherapy.

Insurance Questions

Insurance companies are quickly adjusting to cover these telehealth services. We will work with you and check with your insurance company to make this therapy widely accessible.
