Crisis Numbers:
Zola Counseling is not a crisis provider. This means that therapists are not “on call” to answer crisis calls, available for phone calls after business hours, or on weekends. If you or your child is having a mental health crisis, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
You also have access to these free crisis hotlines:
