Therapy

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls my life.” — Akshay Dubey 

Therapy can be a powerful part of the healing journey and we are here to help you access it. See below for details.

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.

OCRCC Therapy Programs

OCRCC currently offers two avenues to therapy access. Read below to learn about our options and how to contact us for more information. 

  • OCRCC Contract Therapy Program 
    • Ideal for uninsured or underinsured local residents who are 12+ years old and who are primary (they’ve experienced it themselves) or secondary (a loved one has experienced it) survivors of sexual violence. 
    • We will work to match you with a therapist for a limited number of sessions at no cost to you. 
    • For more information, call our helpline at (919) 967-7273 or e-mail us at therapy@ocrcc.org 
  • External Referral 
    • Ideal for local residents of all ages who have insurance and/or an ability to pay the going rate for therapy (typically between $75-$150+ per hour). 
    • We’ll do research and send you some providers who meet your needs and preferences. 
    • For more information, call our helpline at (919) 967-7273 or e-mail us at therapy@ocrcc.org 

Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes called “talk therapy” or “psychotherapy,” the therapy we’re able to connect you to involves meeting with a trained mental health professional and talking about whatever challenges you might be experiencing. In general, therapy can last a few weeks or multiple years, depending on the therapist’s availability and your needs and preferences. 

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. 

That’s OK! If you are unsure, call our helpline at (919) 967-7273 or email therapy@ocrcc.org. You can answer a few questions through our intake process, and then someone from our therapy programs team will follow up with you to talk more and answer any questions.

Information for Therapists & Healers

Consider applying to be a contract therapist! You’ll be matched with clients to provide a limited number of sessions. We have grant funding for this program that ensures you are paid, while keeping it no-cost for those seeking care. Apply here!

We support survivors of all types of sexual violence, such as rape, assault, harassment, stalking, sex trafficking, incest, and child sexual abuse. We are also available to talk to those who feel negatively impacted by a sexual experience. Our services are available to all members of the community regardless of race, socioeconomic class, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, language, national origin, and immigration status.
