** If you are unsure of who to contact or don’t see a therapist in your area, please fill out the Request for Therapy Form and one of the TRT coordinators will guide you to the most appropriate resource.
**Please do not be discouraged if you see a name of someone that you might wish to contact but they do not accept your insurance. Most, if not all of the providers are willing to work with First Responders regarding FEES. THIS SHOULD NEVER GET IN THE WAY OF YOU RECEIVING CARE.
For any general questions or concerns, feel free to contact our coordinators at any time.
