E-counseling is not an appropriate form of therapy if you are suffering from any serious mental health issue. This could include, but is not limited to, conditions such as:

​

• Severe depression

• Schizophrenia

• Bipolar disorder

• Severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Personality disorders

• If you are in danger of hurting yourself or others

 

These situations require more immediate care. You need to be able to work with someone who can be physically present for and with you.

 

If you are considering taking your own life, or if you are in a crisis situation, please make use of the links page on this site to help find a crisis support line in your area. It is important for you to make face to face contact with a counselor who can support you more intensely than can be done in an on-line situation.
