AVP provides trauma-focused therapy (individual, group, and couples/relationship) to those who have experienced any type of violence including domestic and intimate partner violence, sexual violence, hate violence, and police violence or trauma. Therapy is focused on addressing current symptoms and/or concerns associated with experiencing violence. Symptoms of trauma may include (but are not limited to): avoidance behaviors, mood instability, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, thoughts of suicide or self-harm, flashbacks and/or nightmares, feelings of guilt or shame, and feeling jittery. Sometimes the pain still lingers. COH staff are licensed clinicians who are trained in evidence-based therapies for trauma, especially as it impacts LGBTQ individuals, families, partners, and communities.
