Sexual Assault Trauma Counseling

Verity is widely recognized as the leader in Sonoma County sexual assault trauma counseling. While we offer counseling for trauma of all different types, sexual assault remains one of our core areas of expertise.

We encourage our clients back into their lives by recognizing sexual assault as trauma, which is something that we all, as humans, can relate to. No one should be alone in their pain and we all deserve to know that others understand.

Expanded Trauma Counseling

We recognize that clients may be dealing with multiple different types of trauma. Our counseling department offers healing modalities that support each issue and each trauma. Expanding our service area to include all types of trauma survivors and their support system has been a natural next step in encompassing the needs of our community.

We strongly believe that every client deserves a secure place to heal with an agency that understand that process and that individual path of moving forward. Our focus on supporting trauma survivors, their families, friends, and significant others is a unique addition to Sonoma County’s other counseling services providers.

Who We Serve

We provide trauma counseling services to a wide range of people in our community, which includes:

• Adults, teens, adolescents, and children age 6 and older
• Veterans and active duty members of the military
• Female and male survivors
• Survivors outside the gender binary
• Transgender survivors
• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, and queer survivors
• Family, friends, and support people of survivors

Counseling services are provided in individual, group, couple, and family counseling environments, depending on the needs of our clients.

Costs And Confidentiality

All of our counseling services are provided free of charge. To make the best use of our financial resources and to provide quality service, we ask clients who take advantage of counseling services to help with a donation whenever possible. We do accept victims compensation, but we do not accept private insurance.

Confidentiality is essential to effective therapy and support services. Professional ethics require that we protect the confidentiality of people who seek help from us. A signed permission form is required before any information about a client is released to anyone outside the agency.

The only exceptions to our confidentiality policy are when there is:

• Threat of immediate harm to self or others
• Suspected child abuse
• Suspected elder/dependent adult abuse

If you have questions about our confidentiality policies, please contact us.
