Individual Counseling ↘

Where healing begins with a conversation.

YWCA Sonoma County provides survivors of domestic violence with specialized therapy services to help them gain an understanding of trauma and develop healthy strategies to cope with life stressors. As a result, participants learn to navigate adversity in positive ways, improve well-being and minimize disruption to daily functioning. Services are offered to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Our trauma-informed therapists are able to provide short-term and long-term therapy. The cost of each session is set by an income-based sliding scale.

Residents in our Safe House and participants in the Encore Program have the opportunity to attend individual therapy sessions. Additionally, children who attend A Special Place Preschool can receive individual and family therapy services.
