Adult Services
We offer counseling and related supportive and advocacy services for adult victims of domestic violence. Victims of domestic violence may experience many emotions, such as depression, anxiety, shame, hopelessness and fear. Counselors can assist these individuals in developing strategies to manage their thoughts and feelings and develop a plan for a safer, happier and more hopeful life. Providers work as an integrated team and provide services with safety and confidentiality as the highest priority.
