If you or a loved one here in the Portland metropolitan area is currently in crisis, suffering severe symptoms, I urge you to seek immediate help by going to the emergency room of the nearest hospital, or calling 911.

If the severity of your circumstances and symptoms require more than an hour of weekly counseling, I encourage you to consider an "intensive outpatient" treatment option. In Portland, these are offered through a variety of health organizations. One of the finest is through Providence Health Services.
