FAQs
Do I qualify for state funded counseling?
Qualifying for assistance from Alaska's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Alaska's program.
What should I expect when I call?
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
How quickly can I an appointment?
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average.
