For Girls

We are here to help you discover and strengthen ideas about who you are, what you deserve, and what is right for you.

Typically, your first visit to Ophelia's Place will include a tour of our center.We'll describe the different things we do here and show you around.

Next, there is a paperwork process that takes about 30 minutes. During this time, we'll ask you to fill out a questionnaire and chat with us about who you are, your talents, skills and interests. Then you let us know which of our services you may want to become involved in. If you are interested in counseling or in a support group, we can get you signed up.

You'll need parental consent to recieve counseling if you are under 13 years of age. If you choose to do counseling, one of our great therapists will call you to schedule an introductory intake session where you'll get to meet them and tell them more in depth about what you hope to focus on in counseling.

Drop in: to get involved at Ophelia's Place, simply come by or give us a call. Our all-female staff is always happy to welcome new girls into our community, and to answer any questions you may have. We are open from 12 noon- 6 PM, Monday through Friday. You can come by alone, with a female friend, or with a family member if you like.

We have a resource library full of all kinds of information, books on young women's health and safety, healthy snacks, computers and telephones available for you to use. Our group room, where a lot of our support groups happen, is often a quiet, relaxing place where you can hang out, do homework, do art projects, read or spend time with friends.

If you are interested, we can help connect you to one of our support groups.

If you'd like to talk with one of us one-on-one, we are happy to talk with you more about your concerns and goals.

If you'd like to work with a counselor, we can help you find the best fit for your specific needs and concerns. Ophelia's Place counselors are here to listen, help you brainstorm solutions and support you to make your own informed choices.

If there are other agencies in town that you'd like to know more about or get help and information from, we can help you get connected.
