Carrie Winkler also holds a foundational certification as a Theraplay practitioner, one of few providers who hold this within the Champaign-Urbana community.
There will also be a male therapist working at Better Tomorrows on a part-time basis to meet the needs of any client who may be more comfortable working with a male on their treatment issues.
At this time, Better Tomorrows Counseling Services is not equipped to address primary diagnoses of eating disorders, substance and/or alcohol addiction disorders, sexual offending disorders, or domestic violence perpetration. Any other primary diagnosis of a severe mental health disorder would be assessed on an individual basis. Better Tomorrows is also not equipped to manage crisis situations.

Tele-Mental Health
Better Tomorrows has moved to providing Tele-Mental Health services. Better Tomorrows Counseling will return to normal, in office, operations once restrictions have been reduced and it is safe to do so; however, Tele-Mental Health will continue to be a service provision option.
What is Tele-Mental Health?
Tele-Mental Health services utilize technology to allow clients to continue receiving Therapy and Counseling services during the COVID-19 outbreak, and beyond. There are several types of Tele-Mental Health delivery models, however, Better Tomorrows Counseling is utilizing both Audio sessions (via telephone or video conferencing service) and Audio/Video sessions (via video conferencing services). The Audio/Video type of service involves your therapist working with you via both audio and video connection in real-time and simulates an in-person visit. All video conferencing services utilized by Better Tomorrows Counseling Services are HIPAA compliant.
