COVID-19: Our Response and Resources

Posted March 15, 2020

We are limiting client contact

Given recent developments and announcements by our government and public health officials, your team at Insight Psychology on Norfolk is putting our client’s, our community’s and all Canadian’s health and safety first. We have thus decided to limit all client contact to telephone and secure video formats. Our admin support staff will be checking phones as will individual clinicians. Know that we will do our absolute best to continue to meet you and your child’s mental health needs. Please contact your clinician directly if you have any questions or concerns. Their extensions can be found on our Associates page. Let’s all stay safe and support our community.
