A note from Alma Via Counseling Services:

Our therapists are not available around the clock, and our website contact form and email are not monitored as crisis services. Please do not wait for a response from our practice if you need immediate help.

We want you to know that even when we are unavailable, you are not without options. Trained professionals are available to listen, offer support, and help you determine what to do next.

You deserve support when you need it, including outside of your scheduled therapy sessions.
