DoorWays

DoorWays

DoorWays provides rapid access to mental health and addictions counselling services ‘one session at a time.’ While most DoorWays locations offer a walk-in service, some locations provide same-day or next day services or appointments by phone. Walk-in counselling services are available without an appointment or referral.

In St. John’s and surrounding areas, those aged 12 years and older can access DoorWays.

DoorWays outside St. John’s and area is available to all ages.

If further counselling is required, staff will work with clients to provide access to additional services and supports.

DoorWays is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 911 or the Mental Health Crisis Line at 1-888-737-4668, or proceed to the nearest emergency department.

Please be advised we have made temporary changes to DoorWays counselling sessions as a result of COVID-19. We now offer counselling sessions by phone or video. See the phone numbers and hours of operation below for DoorWays sessions in your area.
