While online counseling is easy and convenient, it is not for everyone. My online services are most suited for people who have either previously engaged in formal counseling services and/or are seeking support for issues that are not related to alcohol and substance abuse, life threatening, psychiatric crisis, including: severe mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depressive disorder, panic disorder, personality disorders, suicidal, homicidal or violent behavior (past and present).
If you are needing support for these concerns, in-person treatment is the recommended method. You can find an in-person professional by calling your insurance company and asking for a list of providers, or doing a search on: psychologytoday.com and/or goodtherapy.org. And if you are having a mental health emergency, you should pick up your telephone and call 911, visit the emergency room nearest to you, or call a Colorado Crisis Hotline or New York Crisis Hotline.
