What do i do if i am feeling suicidal or otherwise am considering harming myself or others (or believe i am in danger of being harmed by someone else)?
Either dial 911, call a local crisis hotline or the police, or proceed directly to an emergency room. If I am aware or suspicious of significant risk of harm to yourself or others, I may breach confidentiality as permitted by state and federal laws to protect you or the public. For online counseling, I can attempt to contact appropriate authorities only if you provide a valid emergency contact person and locality you reside in. I will discontinue to treat anyone who I believe (based on evidence provided) is likely to engage in violent behavior leading to significant harm to self or others.
