Julie Valentine Center has been a huge help in teaching me how to cope with the long term effects of my assault. I was able to express my emotions about the assault to them comfortably and receive feedback on how to deal with those emotions. They taught me how to sort out my thoughts about it and be more confident in my ability to handle what may come my way as far as the anxiety/PTSD. The staff are extremely supportive and I would recommend them to anyone with a similar situation. They benefited me by teaching me about my long term effects, teaching me about self care, and helping me get past my assault. - JVC Therapy Client

Thank you for every valuable moment!" - JVC Therapy Client "I was sexually assaulted...a lady from rape crisis met me at the hospital, and suggested therapy. I was extremely upset, so I made an appointment. I met with my therapist. We have only met three times, and every meeting has been very beneficial. I now feel capable to move on with my life when before I felt hopeless." - JVC Therapy Client |
"My experience at Julie Valentine Center has been life-changing. I was able to process stubborn areas in my life through the counseling and treatments offered. When I first came in for counseling I was shameful of the sexual abuse that had taken place in my life. I wasn't sure if I could speak about it to others...I now understand that it was a horrific act, but it is also common...I now have a sense of peace & a glow that is radiant beyond measures. I'm ready to talk to others about my experiences, both the sexual abuse and the role that Julie Valentine Center played in healing me." - JVC Therapy Client |
