“After so many years of abuse, it was hard for me to trust people again. At CVTC, my therapist helped me to trust again because she taught me to trust myself.”

— Florina

“I want to express my gratitude to CVTC for providing this opportunity to me. Here I gained confidence in my own voice. If I had not received services from CVTC, I am not certain I would be alive today.”

“CVTC is an extraordinary organization that literally saved my life. They combine expertise and gentle, loving care in equal doses – a highly unusual feat. And though CVTC provides a strong structure that guarantees its clients feel safe and well cared for, the curriculum is constantly evolving and growing – whether it concerns exploring new techniques for treating trauma victims or keeping informed of the latest legislation concerning domestic abuse.”

— Leilani

“My daughter is an abused crime victim and thanks to your service and her counselor she has turned her life around and I was enhanced with coping skills in dealing with my daughter’s abusive relationship.”
