These are stressful times, and we understand that you may need additional support during an emergency.
As a solo practitioner I am not able to be available for emergencies or crisis outside of scheduled session times.
If you are in crisis and need immediate support, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255)
and the Crisis Text Line (text 741-741) are available 24/7.
Dial 988 for mental health and emotional distress help. Visit 988lifeline.org/chat for text or chat options in English.
