The Village Counseling Center (VCC) is a private mental health center providing a comprehensive array of mental health services to adults, children, adolescents and their families. At VCC we strive to meet the needs of our clients by providing quality mental health care through unique and innovative programs.  All clinical services are provided by experienced and licensed professionals and are adapted to meet the unique needs of each child and family.  VCC adheres to a resiliency-based model that is based on developing each client’s strengths, needs and support system. 

The VCC Sexual Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Program provides pioneering services and is one of the leaders in North Central Florida in the provision of services for children and adolescents with sexual behavioral problems (SBP).  VCC and its staff have successfully evaluated and treated hundreds of children and juveniles with sexual abuse, victimization and sexual behavior issues.  Many of VCC services aim to ensure the most favorable outcome possible for children who are living in the aftermath of child sexual abuse. Our goal is to help children transcend the trauma of early childhood abuse, learn appropriate sexual behavior, and pursue safe, healthy, and productive lives.
