About Us
Update on 3.20.20: We have been monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus and governmental and administrative recommendations regarding how best to respond to this evolving public health concern. Because the health and safety of our clients and staff are of upmost importance, we have decided to transition to telehealth therapy services for the foreseeable future. In order to prepare for this transition, VTAC & CAR will be temporarily closed from March 23rd to April 3rd. We are working diligently toward offering regular sessions via telehealth by April 3rd, if not sooner. Therapists will be getting in contact with their clients to set up plans for these sessions. Unfortunately during this time, we will not be taking new clients nor will we be able to offer assessment services until further notice. We are sincerely sorry for any distress or inconvenience that these changes cause. We do not take these decisions lightly, as the heart of our priority at this time remains the continuity of care for our clients, training for our students, and the broader mental health and wellbeing of our community.
