We are here to help you.

The journey after crisis can be difficult to navigate on your own. The counselors at YWCA South Hampton Roads (YWCA SHR) are here to travel alongside you through the ups, downs, and challenges in the healing process.

Wherever you find yourself along that journey—no matter if it is a recent trauma or something that occurred in the past—our counselors are ready to use their skill and expertise to create a safe and compassionate space for you to heal.

YWCA SHR is dedicated to promoting healing and empowerment of survivors of domestic violence, sexual harassment and violence, and stalking. The Counseling Department provides crisis short-term and long-term adult and children’s counseling to victims, significant others, and other friends/family members affected by the violence.

This program has really helped give me determination and the willpower to make me honestly feel that I can start my life over again and to be positive, not having to live in fear. "Samantha", May 2017

Counseling services are also available on a flat fee schedule of $45.00 per session with the first ten sessions being free.

Services focus on feelings surrounding victimization, safety planning, long-term effects, health concerns, building coping skills, building healthy relationships, trusting again, and feeling in control.
