​

Crisis Counseling gives you access to short-term, solution-focused support during a difficult time. Unlike Community Stabilization, which is provided in the home or community, Crisis Counseling sessions are offered as outpatient counseling appointments in a private and supportive setting. Our goal is to help you regain balance, strengthen coping skills, and create a clear plan for moving forward.

​

The purpose of Crisis Counseling is to provide immediate therapeutic support and help prevent:

• Escalation of symptoms or stressors

• Disruptions in daily functioning

• The need for hospitalization or emergency services

• Relapse of mental health or substance use concerns

• Strained family or social relationships

​

Service Overview:

• Thorough intake and assessment to identify needs

• Short-term outpatient counseling, typically 3–15 sessions

• Flexible scheduling (daytime, evening, and weekend options)

• Collaboration with your current therapist, doctor, or providers when needed

• Focus on emotional stabilization, coping skills, and problem-solving

• Referrals and connections to longer-term treatment and community supports

 

Who is Eligible

Children, teens, and adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis but are stable enough for outpatient care.
