CONNECTING WITH A THERAPIST

It is an extremely difficult time to find a therapist, which can be very disheartening. These two services can help you find a therapist with availability.

• The William James INTERFACE Referral Service, ​offered through our Freedman Center, is a mental health and wellness referral Helpline available Monday through Friday, 9 am-5 pm, at 888-244-6843 (toll free). This is a free, confidential referral service for residents of participating communities.  Callers from these participating communities are matched with licensed mental health providers from our extensive database, on average, within 2 weeks of their call to INTERFACE. Each referral best meets the location, insurance, and specialty needs of the caller.
