Individual and Group Counseling

Adult Services

Most of us know how important and helpful it can be to talk about your problems with an unbiased, supportive listener. This is why Avalon offers counseling for survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking, both past and present. Our counselors work with clients to:

• Heal from past traumas
• Work towards a safe and self-sufficient future
• Provide a safe space to share experience, strength, and perspective with other survivors

Community members can make appointments through our Outreach Office. We are able to serve adults of any gender, sex, or sexuality. Additionally, we offer support groups for survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence. Avalon also offers both individual and group counseling to our emergency shelter and transitional housing residents.

All counseling services through Avalon are confidential and provided at no cost. For more information, please call our Outreach Office at (757) 258-5022 and ask for one of our counselors.

Youth Services

Avalon offers support groups for school-aged children and teens who have experienced or witnessed domestic or sexual violence. These groups are provided weekly for both residential (emergency shelter and transitional housing) clients and youth in the community. Youth support groups provide:

• Age-appropriate information about domestic and sexual violence
• Self-esteem building
• Conflict resolution skills
• Skills for building healthy relationships
• Opportunities for youth to share and connect with each other

Individual counseling for school-aged children and teens is also available.
