COUNSELING & SUPPORT GROUPS
RECOVERY & CLOSURE
Traumatic experiences such as experiencing crime and abuse can create distressing reactions that are at times overwhelming and can linger for months or years. The Counseling Center specializes in helping traumatized survivors of crime and abuse to recover from the effects of these experiences.
The Coalition offers comprehensive counseling services to survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence and sexual assault. Our MFT interns and trainees provide individual, family and group counseling services. We offer support groups for victims of domestic violence, rape sexual assault, and incest/molestation. The Coalition also provides general counseling services.
LGBTQ+ COUNSELING PROGRAM
The Coalition for Family Harmony recognizes that LGBTQ+ individuals are an underserved and vulnerable population. We are excited to announce the addition of our LGBTQ+ Program. Effectively immediately, The Coalition now offers free specialized counseling services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and general counseling to individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning in Ventura County.

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