How Our Counseling Program Works

Posted by Volunteer

At the heart of our counseling program rests the compassion, understanding, and experience of our staff.  We work to help women heal from the wounds of traumatic experiences, illness, loss, troubled relationships, and abuse.  In the very first session we take a thorough history of the problems and concerns and work towards establishing goals. 

Our staff uses a variety of therapeutic approaches in order to best meet the unique needs of each woman.  As a team of therapists, we offer cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, eye movement desensitization reprocessing, interactive guided imagery, stress management training, and supportive psychotherapy.

Women who see us typically report feeling a sense of relief after the first session when they discover what it feels like to join in a therapeutic partnership.  We are interested in discovering the possibilities for positive change in every woman's life, and commit ourselves to the journey of personal growth.  From the first contact to the last, we are committed to creating a sense of safety, acceptance, reliability, and trust in our work. 

Our agency focues on serving women who are uninsured. If you are uninsured and are interested in receiving services, please call 872-0047.  Services are offered on a sliding scale.
