Therapy

We offer free, short-term, trauma-informed therapy for survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones.

We are currently in the process of making exciting updates to our therapy program! Check back soon to learn more about our new therapy services for survivors and their loved ones.

During this process, our therapy referral services are still active! We will work with you to provide customized mental health and basic needs referrals that are a right fit for you. We can connect you with mental health providers who take insurance, offer reduced fees, or who provide pro bono (free) services.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Therapy?
    • Therapy can mean a lot of things. Often, it involves meeting with a trained mental health professional and talking about whatever challenges you might be experiencing. It can last a few weeks or multiple years, depending on the therapist’s availability and your needs and preferences.
  • Will therapy work?
    • If you are working with someone you trust and who’s properly trained, and if you are wanting to make progress in therapy, it’s very likely that therapy will help you achieve at least some of your goals.
  • What if I don’t know which option is best for me?
    • If you are unsure which option within OCRCC’s Therapy Programs is right for you, call our helpline at (919) 967-7273 and ask for Therapy Programs assistance. A Therapy Programs Coordinator will follow up with you to help you figure out which option is best for you.
