I am currently seeing a therapist. Can I drop-in?

No. Discussing concerns with your current therapist is recommended. If you next appointment is not soon enough, it's best to contact your therapist directly to determine if you can be seen sooner.

What if I cannot attend drop-in hours?

What should I do in an emergency?

If you or someone you know is experiencing a life-threatening crisis where minutes count, call 911. To speak with a mental-health crisis counselor call the Penn State Crisis Line at 1-877-229-6400.
