The words below were written to CPC by numerous survivors and caregivers of young survivors who have gone through our therapy program.

“Our family would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support, kindness, and compassion. When we first came here, we were afraid, confused, and worried. You were all Caring, Protecting, and Comforting. That’s what CPC stands for to us.”

“I’m having less nightmares.”

“She has made significant changes. She has been able to reintegrate into school. She’s a lot less jumpy.”

“I feel like I’m getting my little boy back.”

“Therapy has given me hope.”

“She used to sleep with the light on and now has it off.”

“I became happier and more content overall, not just with the sexual abuse. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”

“After our first session, I felt instant relief.”
