If You Are in Crisis

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

For urgent emotional support at any hour, call or text 988. In Colorado, 988 connects you to the 988 Colorado Mental Health Line, which is free, confidential, and staffed 24/7 by trained counselors and peer specialists. You can also chat online at 988Colorado.com. Veterans can press 1 after dialing 988. If you would rather text than talk, text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.

A note for current clients

This practice provides scheduled psychotherapy by video and does not provide crisis intervention services. I return calls from established clients Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and I am not able to respond in real time to an emergency at other hours. If you are in crisis, use the numbers above first. Leave me a message afterward at 303-351-2251 or rachael.stclaire@hush.com, and I will follow up on the next business day.

If you are worried about someone else
