Four Winds Acupuncture Clinic & Integrative Therapies, PC

Let’s face it, insurance premiums are expensive, and many don’t have insurance as a result. Out of pocket costs for mental health treatment can be expensive to...o. Not only that, but many feel that there is a stigma attached to seeing a counselor. I get it. I hear that all the time. There was a time, very early on when my wife and I were both in grad school, struggling with the cost of life in general. We had kids and with the cost of living, we could barely afford much more for ourselves than a latte once a week at a well-known bookstore. Our date night or personal self-care night out would be sitting in the cafe part of this store, drinking a latte, reading the books we wished we could afford to buy, and figuring out how we wanted to help people. COVID has knocked the pins out from under most of us. As a result, and reflecting back on those early years, I wrote this self-help guide. For roughly the price of a latte (from a well-known coffee shop), I am offering 22 years’ worth of my knowledge and experience as a mental health therapist condenses into a very easy read. My goal you ask? -- To help people cope with their stressors of life in the easiest and most affordable way possible.

To All of Our Patients at Four Winds, Pursuant to Governor Wolf's statewide business shutdown, Victor and I reached out to Rep. Karen Bobeck's Office as well as the PA State Police. FOUR WINDS IS Four Winds IS CONSIDERED A LIFE-SAVING ESSENTIAL SERVICE, as we offer mental health and Chinese medicine services. Remember, acupuncture is NOT just for pain. The WHO has long recognized acupuncture as a valid form of medicine and is used to help boost the body's immune system,... treat internal disorders, and mental health conditions. We are not a spa; we are a medical office. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE OPEN FOR NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS and if need be, will be happy to accommodate those who need hours outside of the normal business day. Please see our earlier post for our Covid-19 policy regarding non-patients and the waiting room. For those who are concerned about leaving their homes, Victor will make himself available for Telehealth for mental health counseling. Please know that Victor and I are long-term members of this community and are committed to continuing our service commitment to those in need. With much gratitude for your continued support, Dr. Maya and Dr. Vic

March 15, 2020 To all of our deeply valued and appreciated patients at Four Winds, Victor and I want you to know that we are dedicated to helping all of our patients, past, present, and future during these difficult times. Our clinic will continue to remain open to assist our patients in their health and wellness needs. During this time, the no-show/late cancel policy will be suspended. All we ask is that out of consideration, you inform this office immediately so that oth...ers on the waiting list can be seen Due to the understandable fear experienced by many, we are putting certain policies in place to insure the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all of our patients. 1) If you are experiencing any signs of a cold (cough, fever, etc.), you will not be seen, and your appointment will be rescheduled. 2) We will not allow anyone but the patient to be in the clinic during their appointment time. We will not allow anyone to wait in the waiting room for their appointment and ask that you wait in your car until your appointment time. Vic and/or I will call you on your cell phone or come out to get you for your appointment. This allows us uninterrupted time to continue to wipe down/spray down the office and rooms between patients and allows for decreased risk of exposure for anyone coming in for an appointment. This is a time to not allow fear to consume us. It is a time for kindness and compassion to abound. We are all in this together. Stay hydrated, make sure to get plenty of rest, incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily life (such as guided meditation, QiGong, TaiChi, etc.), practice kindness and compassion, keep fear out of your mindset, and remove sugar and processed food from your diet All of these will help to enhance your immunity! Thank you for your understanding and assistance during this short but stressful period of time. Please remember, Victor and I are here to help. With much gratitude for your continued support of our clinic, Dr. Maya and Dr. Vic
