This page contains an ever-growing list of Internet resources. Although I try to screen for quality, I cannot guarantee the reliability and validity of information contained on those sites. Also, although searching the Internet can be quite helpful, talking to someone in person is often a better way to address your needs. Feel free to call me if this is is the case and I will do my best to answer your questions. Keep in mind that, in case of a medical or psychiatric emergency, you should call 911, consult your physician, and/or go to the nearest emergency room. For a more complete list of emergency contact numbers click here.
