Signs of Hope Counseling One of the greatest and most common needs of survivors of sexual assault and abuse is therapeutic support through qualified counselors and therapists. The Nevada Women's Philanthropy Signs of Hope Counseling Center provides therapy specific for survivors of sexual abuse and assault and the members of their support system (i.e. spouses, parents, siblings). Group support options are also available.
The center serves survivors of sexual abuse and assault ages 10 and older. We serve all survivors - any gender, any background, and whether the assault or abuse occurred days or decades ago, regardless of whether the incident was reported to law enforcement. The Signs of Hope Counseling Center is here to help you work through the impact sexual assault is having and has had on your life, and to assist you with the coping and healing process.

If clients do have insurance coverage, we will make an effort to bill insurance for appropriate therapeutic services. The Signs of Hope Counseling Center is able to accept Victims of Crime Compensation, Medicaid, and multiple other forms of coverage.

Qualifying for assistance from Nevada's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Nevada'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.
