PLEASE NOTE:
THIS LIST WILL BE REMOVED ON OCTOBER 1ST WHEN OUR NEW CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP ROSTER WILL TAKE IT'S PLACE.  IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON OUR WEBSIGHT WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU JOIN THE CHAPTER. 

Are you looking for a local therapist during the shelter-in-place season?  Here is a list of Butte County therapists who provide teletherapy!

As the county lifts isolation restrictions, therapists are in a unique position in which we are in closed rooms one-on-one with clients.  Some therapists may continue providing telehealth for much longer than shelter-in-place restrictions, and some therapists are feeling more comfortable to be shifting back to face-to-face sessions.  If this is one of your concerns, please feel free to ask the clinician directly how they're navigating these ever-changing policies and health guidelines.
