Counseling Services

You don’t have to go through this alone. At SAS, we offer free, confidential counseling for people impacted by all forms of sexual violence. Our counselors are here to listen, support, and walk with you—at your pace, on your terms.

We believe healing looks different for everyone. That’s why we take a survivor-centered, empowerment-based approach. You are the expert in your own life, and your voice and choices guide the process—from where you sit, to what you share, to the goals you set.

Who We Serve

  • Individuals age 5 and older
  • Primary survivors (those who experienced sexual assault) and secondary survivors (those affected by a loved one’s experience of sexual assault)
  • People impacted by sexual violence at any point in their life—whether it happened recently or many years ago
  • Survivors of all genders, sexual orientations, races, and backgrounds

If you're unsure whether our services are the right fit, we encourage you to reach out—we’ll help you explore your options with care and respect.
