Crisis Resources
As an independent therapist in private practice, I am not able to offer after-hours or emergency services.
If you or someone you care about is in distress and would like to speak with someone right away, please contact one of the resources below.
An additional list of resources by subject area, is available via the Crisis Text Line.
The Georgia Crisis and Access Line
GCAL is the 24/7 hotline for accessing mental health services in Georgia. For access to services, please call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line (GCAL). GCAL is available 365 days a year to help you or someone you care for in a Mental Health crisis, crisis related to a intellectual/developmental disability and/or substance use crisis. Language Assistance is provided to callers with limited English proficiency. 800-715-4225.
The Crisis Text Line
Crisis Text Line serves anyone, in any type of crisis, providing access to free, 24/7 support and information via a medium people already use and trust: text. Text HOME to 741741 from anywhere in the US to text with a trained Crisis Counselor. Crisis Text Line trains volunteers to support people in crisis. The goal of any conversation is to get you to a calm, safe place. Sometimes that means providing you with a referral to further help, and sometimes it just means being there and listening.
