Please note: This policy may be updated as new information becomes available from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Seattle & King County’s Public Health Department.

Here at Samaritan, we are dedicated to providing ongoing support to our clients. In this spirit, we are choosing to remain open at this time and to continue serving our clients—balancing this commitment with the prevailing risks by taking aggressive steps to protect clients and staff.

As we take protective measures internally, we ask that any clients please stay home if they are showing symptoms or suspecting possible exposure to persons with COVID-19.

Should you need to cancel an appointment, you can reach out to your therapist directly to reschedule (find your therapist’s contact information here). Note that teletherapy (over video chat) or a phone session might be options to discuss with your therapist.

We care deeply about continuing to offer a safe and healthy environment to all who walk through our doors. We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves and post updates here.

If you believe you were exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19, contact the Seattle-King County Public Health novel coronavirus call center: 206-477-3977. For general questions and concerns about COVID-19, you may call the Washington State Novel Coronavirus Call Center: 800-525-0127. For tips on how to reduce the risk of spread, read King County’s official recommendations.
