UPDATES
​
Maternity Leave Updates: I will begin maternity leave on 2/1/2024 through May 2024, check back for updates.
​
With February approaching, I wanted to share more information about my upcoming maternity leave. It’s hard to believe this is only a few weeks away.
I plan to continue to be available for sessions until the end of January, beginning maternity leave on February 1. This is the “plan” and we know that things don’t always go according to plan. It is possible that my maternity leave may begin earlier. Please continue to regularly check email and my website: www.jstcounseling.com for updates. When I send out automated emails and messages, there are times where these messages may filter to your junk/spam.
During my leave I will not be regularly monitoring email, phone calls, or texts. If you are in need of any documentation, reports, or letters please coordinate with me ahead of time to ensure you have what you need.
I have coordinated with two therapists, Jenny Hoffman and Rachel Kalina, if anyone would like to schedule a session with them while I am on leave. www.psychologytoday.comis another helpful resource for finding therapists with current openings who may be in your insurance network.

2. Behavioral Health Response for adults or youth: call 314-469-6644 or 314-819-8802 or Text BHEARD to 31658

My current plan is to return sometime in May. I will be in touch via email and will keep my website updated with these plans as they develop. As that time approaches, we can check in and can discuss if you would like to schedule an appointment.
Please know that I will be thinking about each one of you and will look forward to working with you again.

Best,
