Benefits of Counseling
In seeking counseling at the Sexual Assault Center, you are provided a safe place to share your story of abuse and to receive the support and validation you deserve. SAC therapists help you understand how abuse can affect your daily life, empower you to learn new healthy coping skills, increase your sense of safety and support, and encourage expression of all feelings and emotions related to the abuse. Realizing you are not alone can be one of the first steps to healing and letting go of the guilt and shame that survivors of abuse experience. Seeking therapy will prevent you from continuing to carry the burden of the abuse and allow you to look forward to a hopeful future.
