We are requesting you wear a mask while entering or leaving our building and while you are in our lobby
Please come to your appointment alone, only you will be allowed to come in for your appointment
Have you had a cough?
Have you had a fever?
Have you had shortness of breath?
Have you been in close contact with anyone with these symptoms or anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 14 days?
If your answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above questions, we will need to reschedule your appointment. We appreciate your honesty.
Coffee bar / water has been removed from our lobbies. Please bring your own beverage if desired.

We understand we may be asking a lot, but we want to keep CAFA a safe and healthy environment for yourself and others.                     

CO-VID 19:

We want you to know that CAFA is here for you during the CO-VID 19 pandemic.
Though our methods are changing for the time being our mission is still the same.

We know that many of you have already been meeting with one of our therapists or participating in a CAFA group and have wanted to continue to be a part of these.

Others of you may need temporary therapy via Telehealth or would like to start with therapy for the long-term.

The good news is that we have options for everyone and want to help you as you navigate life and the pandemic.

Please take a moment to look at our Telehealth options below:

Group Options:

Men’s and Women’s OPAC (Outgrowing Power Anger and Control) groups:

OPAC groups are designed to increase the emotional intelligence of group participants. Specifically, we aim to increase empathy, self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management by introducing and practicing tools that give insight into new ways of thinking and behaving. Graduates have reported that the tools presented in the groups were beneficial in all of their relationships from intimate and familial to professional.
