Adult Services.
Support for every step of your journey. At One Safe Place, you’ll find a team of advocates, counselors, and community partners ready to help you rebuild your safety, stability, and strength.
Abuse doesn’t always start with violence and doesn’t always leave bruises.
Do you feel afraid to disagree, say no, or make decisions without permission?
Has anyone isolated you from family, friends, or money?
Does someone monitor your phone, texts, or social media?
Have threats, guilt, or intimidation become part of daily life?
Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells to avoid conflict?
A ‘yes’ to even one of these questions is worth paying attention to. You don’t have to decide what to call what’s happening — but if something here felt familiar, trust that feeling.
If something feels off or you are unsure, you can call or visit us.
You do not have to be certain or ready to label your situation. We will meet you where you are, listen without judgment, explore what you are experiencing, and work together to find the best path forward.
Abuse, even once, is never okay.
There is no such thing as acceptable abuse and no threshold for seeking help.

Legal challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when they impact your safety or family. At One Safe Place, civil legal support is part of a coordinated approach to help you move forward.
Through our on-site partners, you can access help with protective orders, custody, and other legal concerns.
On-site partners from local law enforcement and the District Attorney’s Office can assist with protective orders, victim impact statements, and safety enforcement. Our collaboration ensures survivors receive swift, trauma-informed support without retelling painful details multiple times.
Licensed therapists provide trauma-informed counseling and therapy designed to restore confidence and emotional well-being. Services include individual, group, and family counseling sessions.
Strangulation is among the most lethal — and most invisible — forms of abuse. We refer survivors to specialized clinicians who assess and document injuries, ensuring they receive the medical care, advocacy, and legal protection they need.
Economic empowerment is a critical step toward long-term safety and independence. Through The Ladder at One Safe Place, individuals can build the skills, confidence, and connections needed to re-enter the workforce and move forward with stability.
From digital literacy and job readiness to career pathways and ongoing support, The Ladder helps turn progress into lasting opportunity.
While One Safe Place is not a shelter, we work closely with partner organizations to arrange safe housing for individuals and families in immediate danger. Advocates handle coordination discreetly and compassionately.
Help doesn’t follow a single path — and neither do we. If you don’t see what you’re looking for above, our advocates are here to listen, assess your needs, and connect you with the right support. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Together For You
At One Safe Place, more than 25 partner agencies work together under one roof to support every step of the journey to safety, healing, and independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost? Do I need insurance?
No. Our services are free, and you do not need insurance.
Is my information kept confidential and private?
Yes. We do not share any information with any outside agencies unless you give us specific permission to do so.
Do I need to break up with my partner before receiving help?
No. It is not a requirement. Regardless of the circumstances, we want to help you and your family, free from judgement.
How serious does the behavior have to be before you will help?
There is no such thing as “minor” or “excusable” abusive behavior, not even once. Any threat or act of physical violence, emotional or psychological manipulation, forced sex, financial control, or isolation can cause severe, lasting physical and mental health issues for you and your children.
Do need an appointment?
No, whenever you are ready to take the next step, we will be here for you.
