Need Help Right Now?

If you are in immediate danger, please call 911.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please do not wait for a return call.

Tara Lowry Counseling is an outpatient practice, which means I am not able to provide immediate or crisis support. I do my best to return calls within 24–48 hours, but urgent situations require more immediate care.

Please take one of these steps right away:

  • Call 911

  • Go to your nearest Emergency Room

  • Call or text 988 — Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

  • Behavioral Health Link (GCAL): (800) 715-4225 — Available 24/7 in Georgia

  • National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799-7233

You can also go to any local hospital emergency room for immediate support.
