COUNSELING
“Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.”
Bessel van der Kolk
Trauma can make you feel isolated, but you don't have to be alone. We are specially trained to help you process the overwhelming pain of sexual trauma. We are well-versed in trauma-focused care, trained in EMDR, and have received training at the master's or doctoral level. And most importantly, we are compassionate and kind.
-
Counseling services are provided at no cost.
-
Our counselors provide individual and group therapy to survivors of sexual violence, ages 13 and older.
-
Group Therapy is available to the family and friends of the survivor as they support their loved one through the healing process.
-
We do not offer family therapy services at the moment, but you can contact us for a free referral for family therapy.
