Mental Health Resources in Champaign-Urbana
You may wish to seek mental health support from a local counselor. Below are local therapy groups that have confirmed capacity to provide service during this time. Many of these groups will support telehealth options after an initial meeting to support the need for social distancing.
In addition to these groups, there are many private practices in the community that are available as a crucial resource during this intense time. While we want the community to have ample access to resources available, the links included here are aimed at directing individuals towards larger therapy groups or search engines that will help them find the right fit. We are hoping that Psychology Today can be a good guide to smaller groups and individual therapist options as we are unable to provide information for all available private practices below.
