What Is a Crisis?
Types of Crises
ReferenceYou might think of a crisis as a traumatic event like a car accident, natural disaster, or another calamity that seems to come out of nowhere and causes a great deal of suffering for the folks involved. These are common kinds of crises, but they’re not the only type.
Here are a few other types of crises:
Developmental crises: This type of crisis is part of the process of growing up. Sometimes, a crisis is actually a predictable part of the cycle of life, like the crises that are described in Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development.
Existential crises: These types of inner conflicts that lead to a crisis are related to ideas like your life purpose, direction, and spirituality. A midlife crisis is an example of a crisis that is rooted in existential anxiety.

Situational crises: Sudden and unexpected crises include accidents and natural disasters. Getting in a car accident, being affected by a flood or an earthquake, or being the victim of a crime are a few examples of situational crises.
Mental Health Rescue can provide counseling to you through multiple therapy sessions per week if needed to help get you to a stable baseline.
We are there to listen to your thoughts, fears, grief, or anxiety to provide the most supportive listening during your crisis. We provide support and encouragement.
Sessions can be scheduled nights as late as 11pm, weekends as well as holidays.
Outpatient mental health therapy is provided to individuals who do not require 24-hour supervision in a hospital inpatient but need more support than once a week counseling sessions due to high stress or a crisis.
Medicare and many commercial plans cover these levels of treatment. We will work with you to call your insurance to ensure what services are covered.
In therapy we also provide practical skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness techniques, and work collaboratively with you to develop healthier relationships.
Through our holistic treatment and use of evidence-based models, we aim to focus on the underlying factors contributing to your mental health symptoms.
The primary goal of outpatient mental health care is to equip you with the essential skills, resources, and support needed to manage symptoms and enhance overall mental well-being effectively.
(Some cases vary in need therefore all cases are different).
If you are having passive thoughts of suicide, we can check in, if you are thinking of ways to die by suicide or hurting yourself or someone else, inpatient hospitalization may be recommended. If you disclose this in our sessions, therapists are legally obligated to breach confidentiality and intervene if they determine you are at imminent risk of self-harm or harm to others. We do not disclose your mental health details only what is relevant to the moment of being able to secure assistance to prevent harm to yourself or harm to others.
