Hurricane and Fire Crisis Counseling:  Deaf Counseling Center is offering a limited number of pro bono (free) counseling slots to Deaf people without insurance coverage who were impacted by the recent hurricanes and wildfires. These slots are also available to Deaf people whose insurance plans will not cover our services. For those who do have insurance coverage, we have counselors available to work with you as well.

Disasters like hurricanes and fires can cause extreme psychological stress. Symptoms of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and acute stress disorder include severe anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, recurring thoughts and memories about the traumatic event that happened, numbness, feelings of loss of control and more.
