Individual Counseling
The
Women's Center's peer counseling staff provide individual counseling to domestic
violence and sexual assault victims at the Placerville office during business
hours and at various public locations during evening and weekend hours for
crisis interventions. We also
provide counseling at a local high school for teens who have
experienced sexual assault, harassment, dating violence or molest.
All counseling is supervised by the Counseling Coordinator (a masters
level counselor). Individual
counseling is provided by a staff peer counselor.
Group Counseling
The
Women's Center offers support groups for survivors of domestic violence and also
adults molested as children (AMAC) on a
periodic basis as client numbers are sufficient. The AMAC groups are
facilitated by the Counseling Coordinator with a peer counselor or trained volunteer as
co-facilitator. These groups may last up to sixteen weeks and address
client issues being experienced in adulthood by survivors of incest, molest, and
sexual assault. The groups are closed and a client may continue with the
AMAC groups as long as they feel is necessary for healing.
Domestic
violence groups are held each Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning on a drop-in
basis. An experienced peer counselor and volunteer facilitate these
groups. Please call the Women's Center at (530) 626-1450 to verify group
meeting times.
