Crisis & containment

If you came to this page because you or someone you love is in trouble right now, the resources below are where to start. This site does not record or share anything you click here.

If your life or someone else's is in immediate danger

Call 911 (United States) or your local emergency number.

If you are in crisis but not in immediate medical danger

988 — Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988. Free, confidential, 24/7. For anyone in suicidal crisis or severe emotional distress, and for people supporting them.

Crisis Text Line. Text HOME to 741741. Free, confidential, 24/7.

If you are in distress during or after a psychedelic experience

Fireside Project. Call or text 62-FIRESIDE (623-473-7433). Free, confidential peer support specifically for psychedelic experiences and integration. They are trained for this. See firesideproject.org for hours and other options.

If you need ongoing mental health support

If you do not yet have a therapist and want to find one, Psychology Today's therapist directory is a reasonable starting place — you can filter by location, insurance, and approach.

For psychedelic integration support specifically, when you are not in immediate crisis, you can email me directly.

A note about this site

This is a coaching website, not a clinical service. Reading what is here is no substitute for direct help from someone trained to provide it. If you have read this far and you are still scared, please pick up the phone and call 988 or 911. The people on the other end are good at this.

If you want to understand the boundary between coaching and clinical care more fully, see the Coach, not therapist page.
