A Note About Therapy Services
Therapy practices are not emergency services.
If you are in crisis, please contact one of the resources above or emergency services rather than waiting for a therapy appointment or response.
You deserve support during moments that feel overwhelming. Help is available, and you do not have to navigate this alone.
