Mental Health Crisis Resources

It's not always easy to know what kind of support you need, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed. Therapy is designed to help you work through ongoing concerns like anxiety, burnout, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, or feeling stuck. It provides a safe, supportive space to better understand yourself, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change over time.

​

However, if you're experiencing a mental health emergency—such as thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, feeling unable to keep yourself safe, or experiencing a severe mental health crisis that requires immediate attention—it's important to seek crisis support right away rather than waiting for a therapy appointment. Crisis services are available 24/7 to provide immediate support, help you stay safe, and connect you with the appropriate level of care.

​

If you call a crisis helpline, a trained crisis counselor will listen without judgment, help you assess what's happening, work with you to develop a safety plan when appropriate, and connect you with local resources if additional care is needed. Calling a crisis line does not automatically result in emergency services being sent to your location. Their goal is to provide support while helping you determine the safest next steps based on your situation.
