Emergency Services

During the Day (Normal Business Hours)

The Counseling Center provides emergency services during our normal business hours.  To be seen for an emergency appointment, call our office 305-284-5511 or simply walk into the center.  Be sure to inform the receptionist that you are requesting an emergency appointment and we will make every effort to respond to your situation as quickly as possible.


Evenings and Weekends

In an immediate emergency, CALL 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Otherwise, choose the option that best suits your needs:
