Healing after domestic or sexual violence doesn’t follow a straight line. There’s no timeline, no checklist, and no “right” way to process trauma. That’s why Sollera’s counseling services are built around one guiding principle: victim-survivors get to move at their own pace.

Sollera offers free, confidential counseling for victim-survivors, led by trained professionals who understand the complex impact of trauma. Counseling sessions create a space where victim-survivors can talk openly, or sit quietly, or focus on coping tools—whatever feels most supportive in that moment.

Trauma can show up in many ways: anxiety, trouble sleeping, difficulty trusting others, anger, numbness, or feeling disconnected from your own body. Sollera counselors help survivors make sense of these responses, not as weaknesses, but as understandable reactions to harm. Healing begins when people feel safe enough to tell their story—or to know they don’t have to yet.

Counseling at Sollera isn’t about “fixing” someone. It’s about helping victim-survivors reconnect with themselves, rebuild a sense of safety, and develop tools that support long-term well-being. For some, that means short-term support. For others, it’s a longer journey. Both are valid.

Most importantly, counseling services are provided without cost and without judgment. Victim-survivors don’t need to have reported to law enforcement or meet any specific criteria. If someone has experienced harm, they deserve care—and that belief is at the heart of Sollera’s counseling program.

In 2025, Sollera’s counselors served 631 adults and children, providing more than 4700 counseling sessions.
