Counseling

"I no longer feel as though I'm running alone from a monster disguised in a human body. I feel supported, cared for, and heard like never before by extremely good-hearted People who want me to shine again. I now have hope for my future.” – A CCN Client

Abusive behavior can be challenging and affect all aspects of one’s life. CCN provides Trauma Informed care to individuals dealing with the impact of abusive behavior in their life whether it be past or present. CCN’s counselors provide individual, group, children’s counseling; and animal-assisted therapy through Trauma Informed Care. Trauma Informed Care assists in that the staff will not dictate what and individual’s needs are instead, they help support and guide individuals in their own goals and treatment planning. Any individual attempting to manage these issues may feel alone and may struggle in current relationships. CCN is here to help understand that process.

Mobile Advocacy Program

In 2017, CCN established a pilot mobile counseling program that addressed service provision gaps for DV victims and systemic barriers to service provision. Such barriers include a lack of transportation, homelessness, and the co-occurrence of DV and substance abuse. The MA Program provides solutions for these barriers that prevent victims in at-risk communities from seeking life-saving help. Mobile Advocates respond to referrals made for individual domestic violence survivors and offer group counseling services.
