Crisis Resources
Support Available Around the Clock
If you are in immediate danger
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 now or go to the nearest emergency room.
Overcomer's Counseling & Associates (OCA) is an outpatient telehealth practice. We are not a crisis or emergency service, and we are not able to respond to emergencies or monitor messages around the clock.

A note for the men reading this
"Reaching out when things get dark is not weakness, and it is not giving up. It is one of the strongest things a person can do. The people on the other end of these lines are there for exactly this reason—no judgment and no cost. If today is hard, please use one of them. The work we could do together matters, but right now, staying safe matters more."
When you are ready
If you are not in crisis and you are looking to start therapy, I would be glad to talk. You can book a free consultation any time.
