Intensive Care
WHEN OUTPATIENT ISN'T ENOUGH — INTENSIVE SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
We also offer training / speaking opportunities, consultations, board approved clinical supervision and more. Read below for more information or reach out to us directly to discuss your needs. We strive to provide one of a kind services to match your specific goals. We are open to collaborating with other like minded individuals, small businesses and large businesses. Contact us directly via email at info@northernlightstherapyaz.com.
Sometimes, the weight you’re carrying is just too heavy for weekly therapy alone — and that’s okay. Crisis and residential care options are available for those moments when safety, stability, or deeper healing require a higher level of support. Whether you're navigating intense emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or a mental health episode that feels unmanageable, these services can provide a safe environment and 24/7 care to help you reset and recover.
​
We know seeking this kind of support can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone — and it doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're choosing to fight for yourself in a bigger way. We’re here to help guide you to trusted programs that align with your needs and work in collaboration with your outpatient therapist to support your long-term healing.
​
This list isn’t exhaustive, and we know everyone’s needs are different.
If you're looking for a service we haven't listed or have had a great experience with a provider you'd like to recommend, please reach out and let us know. We're always open to adding helpful resources.
​
On the other hand, if you’ve had a negative experience with any of the places listed here, we’d like to hear that as well. We take our referrals seriously and don’t want to continue recommending options where there are major concerns. Your feedback matters.
