Courage doesn’t exempt our fear but it’s the choice to do what is right despite our fear.
At Her Well, we understand the profound impact that sexual trauma can have on Survivors’ lives. Survivors often struggle with physical, emotional, and psychological effects long after the traumatic event has occurred. That’s why we’re committed to helping women heal from the aftermath of sexual trauma, and reclaim their lives in a safe, supportive environment.
Our non-profit organization provides a range of services designed to help women who have experienced sexual trauma. These services include trauma counseling, medical care, group counseling, and basic self-defense training. Our goal is to create a holistic, individualized plan for each survivor that will help them move forward in their healing journey at their own pace.
Trauma counseling is a vital component of our services. Our licensed therapists are specially trained to work with survivors of sexual trauma and can help them process their experiences and develop coping skills to manage their emotions. We understand that each survivor’s journey is unique, and we’re committed to providing personalized support that meets their specific needs.
In addition to trauma counseling, we also offer medical care to survivors. Our medical professionals are compassionate and understanding, providing care in a safe and supportive environment. We provide comprehensive care, including preventive care, treatment for injuries, and screening for sexually transmitted infections.
Group counseling is another critical service we offer at Her Well. Survivors often feel isolated and alone in their experiences. Our group counseling sessions provide a safe, supportive environment where survivors can connect with others who have experienced similar trauma. Our counselors facilitate these sessions, helping survivors build a community of support and healing.
Finally, we offer basic self-defense training to survivors. We believe that empowerment and self-defense are critical components of healing. Our trained instructors provide survivors with the tools and techniques they need to protect themselves and build confidence in their ability to stay safe.
At Her Well, we’re committed to helping women heal from the aftermath of sexual trauma. We know that healing is a journey, and we’re here to support survivors every step of the way. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual trauma, please reach out to us for help. We’re here for you.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
How Her Well helps victims transform into survivors
The Butterfly Journey: Your Path to Healing & Freedom
Just like a butterfly undergoes transformation, healing is a journey of growth, renewal, and strength. At Her Well, we walk with survivors through every stage, providing support, tools, and empowerment to help them break free from the past and embrace their future.
Our 12-month program is designed to guide you step by step, and even after you graduate, we offer continued resources and support to help you thrive beyond recovery.
Stage 1: The Egg – Recognizing the Need for Change (Crisis Counseling, Immediate Support, Medical Follow-Up & Hospital Accompaniment)
Every journey begins with a realization—a moment when you recognize that you deserve more. Whether you are in immediate crisis or just beginning to acknowledge the impact of trauma, we provide crisis counseling, medical follow-ups, and compassionate support to help you take the first step toward safety and healing. We also offer hospital accompaniment, ensuring that you don’t have to face the medical or legal system alone during such a vulnerable time.
Stage 2: The Caterpillar – Laying a Strong Foundation (Workshops, Group Support & Community Building)
As a caterpillar prepares for transformation, this stage is about gaining strength, learning new skills, and finding support. Through twice-a-month group sessions (virtual and in-person), our Call to Thrive workshop, and self-defense training, you will build resilience and connect with a community that understands your journey. This stage helps you develop the tools and confidence needed for deeper healing.
Stage 3: The Chrysalis – Sitting in the Goo & Transforming from Within (Trauma Therapy, Case Management & Self-Discovery)
Transformation is not easy—it requires trusting the process. Just as a caterpillar turns into goo inside the chrysalis, breaking down completely before forming new wings, we, too, must be willing to sit in our goo—the hard, messy, uncomfortable work of processing trauma. But the goo has a purpose. It is what shapes us, strengthens us, and prepares us to fly.
This is where deep healing happens. Our licensed counselors specialize in trauma-focused therapies, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Neurofeedback, and EMDR, to help process past pain and regain control. Our nationally certified case managers provide guidance and advocacy, helping you navigate your personal journey of self-discovery and restoration.
Stage 4: The Butterfly – Emerging into Freedom & Thriving (Ongoing Growth & Continued Support)
Healing doesn’t end—it evolves. As you complete our 12-month program, we continue to support you with post-program workshops, empowerment resources, and a lifelong community to ensure long-term wellness. You will always have a place to turn to as you spread your wings, embrace your worth, and live with confidence, free from the weight of past trauma.
At Her Well, we believe that no survivor should have to walk this journey alone. You are not broken—you are transforming. And when you are ready, you will soar.
It’s Time to Heal. It’s Time to Regain Your Confidence, Restore Your Voice, and Stop Isolating Yourself.
