Mental Health Urgent Care
Skip the wait list, access to care within 24 hours*
Sometimes life doesn't go the way we plan it to go and we must find a way to pivot. All too often, figuring out a rough draft for a new direction is what we need to focus on while we strategize toward a new, BIG picture plan. This is the heart of our Mental Health Urgent Care.
Our agency strives to get you connected the same or next day for an appointment with one of our clinical staff. That said, we are not the ER, we aren't open 24/7, and there may be instances where we cannot accommodate, such as weekends and holidays.
Contact us during business hours Monday through Friday and we will offer you at least one time within 24 hours with few exceptions. Please be aware that this applies toward urgent scenarios only and will NOT lead to regular appointments.
We can help you manage the unmanageable
So what is an "urgent" mental health situation that might benefit from this service?
- Need for more immediate assessment and triage due to more severe emotional dysregulation
- Mild to Moderate suicidial ideation
- Recent/significant life event, such as death or injury of a loved one, loss of employment
- A traumatic event, such as domestic violence or sexual assault
Some issues may be too great for our urgent care, such as:
- Severe suicidal ideation with a plan and/ or intent; in this case, contact 988 or contact your nearest emergency room
- Psychosis or severe hallucination
- An individual under the influence of a mind altering substance
- Significant dementia or delirium
- We do not prescribe medication at this time

Our crisis services are designed to help you overcome personal challenges that are too severe to be "waitlisted," yet not severe enough to consider the emergency room or acute care hospitalization.
Our licensed practitioners and interns provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your more pressing thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop immediate strategies for positive change and stabilization.
We'll help you create a plan

The goal of our Mental Health Urgent Care is to help you walk away with new options that you may have struggled with on your own.
Sometimes, it's very helpful to simply figure out a plan and a direction, which in and of itself helps most people feel ALOT better.
Other times, it's as simple as figuring out a few next steps with someone trained to listen non judgmentally. Ultimately, we're here for you, every step of the way.
