If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, the most important priority is immediate safety. While a therapist can provide valuable ongoing support, Thrive Counseling is not an emergency facility, and our clinicians are not available 24/7 for crisis response.
However, you do not have to go through this alone. There are options, and once you are safe, we are here to help.
Immediate Danger
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away. This includes situations involving suicidal intent, self-harm risk, threats of violence, severe impairment, or medical emergencies.

If You Are a Current Client
Please know we care deeply about your well-being, but individual therapists are not continuously available for emergency response outside scheduled sessions. Thrive Counseling is not a crisis center or emergency service provider.
After You Are Safe, Please Contact Us
Once immediate danger has passed, contact our therapy office to schedule follow-up care. We can help you process what happened, update your treatment plan, strengthen coping strategies, and connect you with ongoing support in Federal Way and throughout King County, WA.
