Therapy & Case Management

Safe Harbor offers individual therapy and case management services to adult survivors of domestic abuse in Anderson, Greenville, Oconee and Pickens Counties. 

These services offer an opportunity to discuss a range of topics related to domestic abuse, such as: 

• Learning about the dynamics of domestic abuse and its effects on you
• Developing safety plans
• Addressing past and present trauma due to abuse
• Addressing negative feelings caused by abuse
• Learning coping strategies
• Connecting with social support and community resources

Safe Harbor also offers domestic abuse education classes through an online self-paced course featuring eight lessons.

We are in the process of revamping our support groups (both therapist and survivor-led) and encourage you to check back for updates.

These services are confidential and free of charge.

To seek our therapy and case management services for adults or children, you can call 1.800.291.2139 (select option 1) to complete a phone intake or complete our online intake form. Please include a safe way for us to contact you via phone (with voicemail) or email.

Once you have submitted the online form, you should hear back from a member of our team within five business days.

Once you have completed an intake to begin services, you will hear from a member of our community services team within 5 business days. Please be sure that your voicemail is set-up and clear, so we can leave you a message if you are unable to answer when we call. 

A member of our community services team will contact you to set up an initial time to meet. During this first meeting, we will review our services with you and complete an assessment to learn more about your experience with domestic abuse and how we can assist you. 

Please be sure to make arrangements for childcare during your appointments at Safe Harbor. We are not able to provide on-site childcare, and children cannot be left unattended in our waiting area. Please talk with your therapist or case manager if you are having trouble securing childcare. 

Length of time in services will depend on an individual’s needs and goals.

Typically for therapy, we offer up to 12 sessions. You and your therapist will regularly reassess your needs to determine if Safe Harbor is the best resource to help you reach your goals.

In addition, we offer referrals to other community resources as needed.

With a few exceptions that your therapist will review with you (such as mandated reporting of abuse/neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, plans to harm yourself or someone else, or court order from a judge), therapy and case management are confidential.

Safe Harbor will not share with anyone (including case workers, attorneys, family, or friends) that you are receiving our services, without your written consent.

Safe Harbor offers individual therapy and case management services as well as domestic abuse education classes that are all DSS-approved.

It is your choice to participate in any of Safe Harbor’s services.
