Services Offered
Counseling and Therapy Program
WRAP's skilled advocates offer psycho-educational counseling to individuals and families affected by domestic violence. For adult counseling services, WRAP offers individual and group interventions that include education about intimate partner violence and its impact on survivors, raising self-esteem and mood, problem-solving skills for independent living, and mind-body activities to reduce hyper-alertness. WRAP also has licensed clinicians who may be consulted if an individual feels therapy would be helpful. These clinicians are skilled in working with victims of trauma and utilize such therapeutic approaches to working with victims of trauma as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR).
For children, interventions include groups, individual counseling or therapy, and dyadic counseling/therapy with their nonoffending parent. WRAP believes that an essential component of intervention with all children is the priority of supporting and strengthening the relationship between the nonoffending parent and the child.
Crisis Response Program
WRAP maintains a 24/7 crisis response system managed by skilled advocates who provide information and referral, crisis counseling, safe home assessments, and hospital accompaniment. WRAP also partners with local law enforcement to ensure immediate advocacy response to high danger situations.

Qualifying for assistance from Tennessee's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Tennessee's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
