How mental health care works in Georgia
If you're in crisis right now — or someone you love is — call or text 988, or call the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225. Real people answer 24/7, they can talk you through tonight, and they can send a mobile crisis team instead of police in many situations.
For ongoing counseling, Georgia's community service boards offer therapy and psychiatry on a sliding scale — you don't need insurance. Be ready for a waitlist for regular appointments; crisis lines never have one. Some nonprofits and training clinics offer free or cheap counseling with shorter waits — ask 211 what's open near you.
What to expect when you call: a screening conversation (10–20 minutes) about what's going on, then an intake appointment. Saying "I'm in crisis" moves you faster. You can ask for a Spanish-speaking counselor.
This clinic offers comprehensive care for people living with HIV or AIDS, including medical care, counseling for substance use, case management, and help applying for benefits and insurance. They serve adults, teens, families, and LGBTQIA+ community members, with support for those on low incomes.
