Due to issues with our lease, we need to close the office sooner than we originally announced.

The last day the office will be open is Saturday, August 29.  After that date, clients wishing to continue with Erik Young will only be able to do so through online video sessions or phone sessions.

Once again, we thank you all for your support and understanding at this time.

Peace,

Ten years ago, I started Erik Young Counseling.  I was looking for a way to better use my skills and knowledge to help families and people with special needs.  What started out as a part time endeavor has blossomed over the years into a wonderful group practice.  During this time, I’ve been honored with the opportunity to work with and learn from so many people.  It’s been a dream come true.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end as they say.  Due to circumstances beyond my control I have to close the physical practice.  I’ve given this much thought and I do not do this lightly.  This will be occurring on or about Saturday, September 19.  We will be closing our doors.

Over the next few months, my team and I will work to help everyone transition as easily as possible.

• For those of you who wish to continue their work, we will help get you connected with new therapists.
• We will assist those of you who wish to discontinue therapy in doing so in a healthy and practical manner.
• After September 19, Erik will provide video and phones sessions to those who wish to continue therapy with him.
• We will maintain your records for 7 years in accordance with ethical and legal guidelines. You can gain access to those records by emailing erik@erikyoungcounseling.com

I expect that many of you will have questions and concerns.  I will do my best to address them as they come up.  As always, you may call, text or email.

I want to thank all of you for trusting in us and allowing us to share in your and your families’ journey.  It’s been a true honor.

Peace,

After consulting with the Chester County Health Department, we will be resuming office visits on a limited basis starting Monday May 11.

We will be using the following safety precautions:

• You will be asked to wear a mask while in the office. NO sessions will occur without wearing a mask. Our staff will also be wearing masks.
• Don’t bring visitors. Only the identified client (and a parent or guardian if they are a minor) will be allowed in the office.
• Social distancing guidelines will be followed before, during and after appointments. Maintain a 6ft distance between yourself and others.
• Appointments will be staggered to allow time to disinfect the office between appointments.
• Stay home if you are unwell. We ask that if you are showing symptoms you do a video or phone appointment or reschedule.
• These are for clients of Erik Young only. Gina and Moira will be offering video sessions only at this time.

Additionally, we will continue offering video sessions as we have been.  Simply contact us to set that up for a given session.

We thank everybody for their patience and support during these unprecedented times.  Together, we can continue to stay safe and thrive.

If you have any questions regarding this policy update, please feel free to call the office at 484-693-0582 or you can email us at erik@erikyoungcounseling.com.

Peace,
