Are you struggling with the decision to seek counseling?
Many survivors hesitate due to the fear of judgment or the belief that they can overcome their experiences without professional help. However, the reality is that trauma affects individuals in diverse ways, and its profound effects may not be immediately visible.
Our aim is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed space for our clients to embark on their healing journey. We acknowledge that the decision to start counseling is a personal one, and we are here whenever you feel ready.

In the event that you and your therapist do not form a suitable connection, don't lose hope. You have the right to request a different therapist or explore other therapy facilities. Additionally, you can reach out to your case manager or DV Support Advocate for assistance in finding a new therapist.

You may be able to get SNAP benefits if you:
- work for low wages,
- are unemployed or work part time,
- receive Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) or other public assistance payments,
- are elderly or disabled and live on a small income, or
- are homeless.
The amount of SNAP benefits you can get is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Maximum Allotment, which is an estimate of how much it costs to buy food to prepare nutritious, low-cost meals for your household. This estimate is changed every year to keep pace with food prices.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program defines a household as a group of people who live together and buy food and prepare meals together. If your household passes the program’s eligibility tests, the amount of food benefits you get will depend on the number of people in your household and on how much monthly income is left after certain expenses (deductions) are subtracted.

Our TRA Program (Transportation Relocation Assistance Program) provides victims and their children with vital transportation services needed to connect them with essential services they need to assist them in their relocation journey to safety, commute to healthcare appointments, work, and educational programs. Transportation is a large barrier for survivors of domestic violence when attempting to obtain a safe, affordable, and dependable means to escape and continue their journey free from abuse.
Our program breaks the silence surrounding domestic violence and provides a secure and confidential space for young individuals to openly discuss their experiences, whether in relationships, homes, or among friends. We recognize the diversity in how each child and teen responds to domestic violence, emphasizing the importance of tailoring support to meet their unique needs. Even within the same family, individuals may require different levels of care.
TSU empowers youth and teens through a variety of creative outlets, including the arts, creative writing, music, and theater. Educational workshops are conducted to teach them the skills needed to build and maintain healthy relationships. Additionally, focus groups provide resources for proper communication and expression of emotions. Through these multifaceted initiatives, our goal is to equip young individuals with a platform for self-expression, learning, and embarking on a healing journey.
Operated by TRDV, Inc., a company specializing in providing education, training, and solutions for domestic violence, TRDV-Report™ serves as the background reporting service. The platform addresses the lack of a national domestic violence/intimate partner violence registry, recognizing the unfortunate reality that many offenders are repeat offenders. In the absence of a centralized registry, individuals often remain unaware of potential dangers they may face before entering into relationships.
Given the current absence of domestic violence registries, TRDV-Report™ fills a critical gap by offering a tool that contributes to the safety and well-being of individuals seeking to establish healthy and secure relationships.
Disclaimer: TRDV-Report does not guarantee nor hold any liability to the person or persons background checks who may have unreported history of violence. Many abusers go undetected or unreported due to the fear of the victims. It’s always important to maintain safety in any relationship and never ignore your gut instincts.
