Telephone Calls and Emergency/Urgent Services
Your provider can be reached during their scheduled business hours. Generally, your non-urgent calls will be returned within two business days. Unless otherwise stated on outgoing voicemail message, we check voicemail at least once per day, more often during business hours and attempt to return all calls within 24 hours of receipt of voicemail.
If you are experiencing big emotions, big changes in your life, or need some resources or problem-solving before your next session, you can call your clinician or our main line to set up a 15-minute phone call with an available therapist. They will respond within 24 hours to your inquiry.
