VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. â Itâs no secret that mental health services are in high demand now. In Hampton Roads, the search may be even more difficult for some after the sudden closure of Christian Psychotherapy Services, which treats thousands of clients.
Carmen Wolf, a therapist with Atlantic Family and Adolescent Therapy, says they are 99.9% at capacity; however, she wanted to offer advice so everyone who needs it can find quality care.
Wolf suggests finding a service thatâs compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. This will ensure records remain confidential. She also recommends using a therapist who is fully licensed or is supervised by a licensed clinician.
