Crisis Support & Immediate Resources
You Are Not Alone — Help is Available
At Renew Counseling Center, your safety and well-being are the top priority. While I provide private-pay, outpatient counseling and am not a crisis facility, I want to ensure that anyone experiencing a mental health emergency has immediate access to help. If you or someone you care about is in crisis, please reach out to trained professionals right away.
