Freedom House offers counseling services free of charge
to adult and child victims of domestic and/or sexual violence, regardless of
gender or sexual orientation. We believe that psychotherapy is a way of
expressing feelings, exploring relationships and gaining self-fulfillment in a
safe environment. Individuals can learn more about themselves and begin to see
themselves as people who have value and deserve respect.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is available for all ages and is
beneficial to primary victims (those that have directly witnessed or
experienced the violence) and also to secondary victims (those who have a loved
one or a family member who has been abused). Both primary and secondary victims
are eligible for our services.
Group Counseling
Support group is open to any woman who has experienced
any form of domestic or sexual violence, either as a child or as an adult.
Group allows one to address issues relating to relationships, family interactions,
self esteem, gender roles, and other topics. Call the Freedom House office for
an intake before attending group.
Play Therapy
Expressing what cannot be spoken
Play therapy is provided for children, ages 3 and up, who
have experienced, witnessed, or been affected by domestic violence and/or
sexual assault, including incest. The child is able to communicate through play
about his or her world in a medium that is natural to the child. The adult
seeking services for the child must be legally able to do so.
