The DC Rape Crisis Center offers free counseling for survivors and significant others (family, friends, and partners). The DC Rape Crisis Center’s model for counseling is based on the empowerment model, which stresses the inherent wisdom and knowledge of people to heal and direct their own lives. DCRCC’s therapists are helpers, not directors, in the lives of their clients. Sessions are guided by what the survivor wants to do in his or her life.
