Schedule an Appointment If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please dial 911 for immediate assistance.

To schedule your first appointment with a counselor call (607) 273-7494 during our hours of operation: Mon-Thu 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fr 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and ask to speak with someone in our intake department.

The first time you call, you will be transferred to our intake voicemail. Leave a message with good times to call back. We need 15 – 30 minutes to walk you through our intake process. This process helps us to match new clients with appropriate clinical staff, but also to assess for the urgency of need.
