While restaurants, salons and other companies begin opening their doors, Outreach has also evaluated how best to provide counseling services to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Our counselors continue to provide telehealth sessions for all present and new clients. All new clients are evaluated to determine if telehealth is appropriate for the level of care needed.
Please call today, 412-561-5405, or email us at info@outreachteen.org, to schedule an appointment.
Once face to face counseling is offered again, we will require all clients to wear masks upon entering the office and arrive just five (5) minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. We ask that only clients being seen come into the office.
In addition, we are restricting access to the agency for anyone who may have recently been exposed to the virus. By entering our office, you are affirming and attesting that:

As the Governor continues to re-open counties throughout the state, Outreach has remained a resource for those seeking counseling services. While the agency does have a re-opening protocol in place, the decision to provide face to face counseling services will be determined by individual counselors, as well as the clinical needs of each client. Telehealth continues to be provided for clients. Please call today, 412-561-5405, or email us at info@outreachteen.org, to schedule an appointment.
Please note that if you have a fever or a cough, have been with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 within the past two weeks of your appointment, you need to re-schedule your counseling session (if it is onsite). This is for the safety of our counselors and the well-being of others within the agency. Anyone entering our agency will be required to wear a mask. Thank you!
