Tamara Thebert MFT Video Intro

"Just as individuals with pre-existing physical illness are more likely to get physically ill from the coronavirus, people whose mental health is compromised are at greater risk of experiencing worsening mental illness as a result of the coronavirus no matter what their mental illness may be. Clinical anxiety is a concern at times like this. It is understandable and expected that people will experience worry and stress during this time.
