Crisis & Emergency Resources
If you are experiencing a crisis or emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. While I am trained to recognize and address suicidal ideation within the context of therapy, Northlight Counseling is not equipped to handle immediate crisis intervention. Please reach out to a crisis hotline or emergency services if you require urgent assistance.
