Crisis Intervention Counseling

When someone experiences a traumatic or highly stressful event, such as exposure to a shooting, the sudden loss of a loved one, a natural disaster, or another catastrophic incident, they often face an overwhelming surge of negative emotions. This intense emotional response is commonly referred to as an emotional crisis. Crisis intervention is a short-term, immediate treatment aimed at addressing the psychological needs of the individual in distress. It focuses on de-escalating the intensity of negative feelings, providing emotional support, and evaluating whether further treatment or ongoing therapy is necessary. The goal of crisis intervention is to help individuals manage the acute distress they may experience in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, offering them a sense of stability and direction. At Dr. Robin Lowey & Associates, our therapists are trained to provide compassionate, effective support during these critical times. We are here to help you navigate the emotional turmoil and determine the best path forward, whether that includes short-term coping strategies or ongoing therapeutic support.
