Counseling

We all go through seasons of overwhelm, but there comes a time when stress starts to interfere with our lives. That's a huge indication that you should speak to a therapist.

 

If you can’t immediately seek professional guidance face to face, and you're without friends or family support, call one of the crisis hotlines on our Crisis Support page.

​

Below you will find private practices based on the city nearest you, in addition to county support services. This list a jumping-off point to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. Be patient and kind to yourself. We're so happy you're here, and proud of you towards taking a step to get the support you deserve.
