Survivor Therapy Program

SOSA’s Survivor Therapy Program lets us connect survivors of sexual abuse with experienced therapists who can offer them professional support. We pay for the entire cost of 12 sessions, and provide other help along the way.

Having access to treatment can be life-changing for a survivor, and we believe everyone who’s experienced sexual harm as a child — or has a close connection to child abuse — should be able to have the care they need.

Take a look at the information on this page to learn more and to see if you would like to be involved as a survivor or as a therapist.

Due to a great deal of interest in this program, we are not currently accepting new applicants. We hope to re-open application soon!

If you need urgent assistance, please call 911 or contact one of the hotlines linked directly below.

Who qualifies

 

We have purposely made this program available to a variety of people who have been affected by sexual abuse.

  • An adult who needs support for something that happened to them as a child

  • A child who has experienced sexual abuse

  • The spouse, child, or partner of someone who has been convicted of child sex abuse or a relevant crime

  • Other (if you feel you need this support but your situation doesn’t fall under the categories above, reach out and ask about it!)

The process

  • Apply

    Fill out a brief form so we may work to connect you with a therapist who is fully licensed in your state.

  • connect

    Once our team has reviewed your information and matched you with a therapist, we will connect you so you may schedule sessions.

  • cover

    SOSA will work with you to pay for the entire cost of 12 sessions — whether that means reimbursing you for your insurance co-pay or paying your therapist directly.

FAQs

  • We have built a network of approved, fully licensed therapists with experience supporting clients with a history of sex abuse.

  • If you are currently seeing a fully licensed therapist, we can also pay for up to 12 sessions with them. We are unable to cover the cost of sessions with life coaches or unlicensed mental health supporters.

  • SOSA is able to cover up to 12 sessions per person. While some survivors may benefit from more therapy, this is what we’re able to cover at this time to make sure we’re able to help as many folks as possible.

  • Abuse that happened decades ago can still affect someone deeply. If you feel you would benefit from therapy, we would be honored to see if we can help with that.

  • At this time, this program is only open to therapists and clients in the United States.
