Programs: Roanoke Park Counseling offers affordable therapy services for women and men survivors. These include group and individual counseling with therapists experienced in treating survivors of childhood sexual abuse. All of our groups emphasize trust and authenticity, and aim to help individuals regain a sense of validation and acceptance and to gain skills to live more satisfying lives. We also provide couples counseling, family therapy, and support groups for partners of childhood sexual abuse survivors. Our partner support was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine and is a rare and valuable service in providing support for the whole family system. As part of our education and advocacy efforts, we pout on an event called Turn The Light On to build a community of awareness to end sexual abuse of children. As a specialist organization in this field for 25 years, Roanoke Park Counseling is pleased to provide professional education, training, and consultation for other health care providers.
