Hello All,

I realize this instance is not the place for anyone to be asking for direct counseling or psychiatric help.

I do want to post a few USA resources for anyone looking for help. I hope that others might post resources as well - particularly from other areas of the world.

  1. Directories such as:

**Psychology Today: ** https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists

  1. Insurance company provider directories. These directories are usually online. You can also ask your insurance company if they have a service for helping you find a provider - like a nurse consultant.

  2. EAP - Employer Assistance Programs. Ask your HR department who your company EAP plan is with. EAPs such as ComPsych frequently will help you find local providers.

  3. In an emergency - See if your locality has “crisis response” teams. These usually consist of a police officer and a social worker. The point is that this team will be better prepared for psychiatric emergencies than the average police officer responding to a 911 call. Google this ahead of time.

  4. Crisis hotlines - In the United States there is the “Suicide & Crisis Lifeline” which can be reached nationwide by calling or even texting 988.

Thanks, Dan
