Arbor House Online offers email services.  Many clients have reported at one time or another needing the help of a therapist but not for therapy. Maybe they needed guidance on a specific problem or issue but didn’t require a full one-hour session. This is a quick way to get support. A licensed therapist or certified addiction counselor (depending on the issue) will respond your email within 24 hours, suggesting practical solutions.

This is a straightforward way for individuals to have greater access to mental health. Examples of typical questions:

• How do I know if my relationship is healthy or not?
• If I’m dual-diagnosis, should I focus on my addiction or depression?
• How can I set boundaries with my mother?
• My husband is drunk again. What should I do?
• Do I need to see a therapist if I go to AA meetings?
• My AA sponsor thinks I should stop taking anti-depressants. What should I do?

Please note, we use the word “respond,” instead of answer.  We offer support, guidance, and possible options, but you have the answer.
