We are excited to announce that Era has signed as an independent contractor with the YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley.

Through our Support Our Supporters program, we are providing a weekly, online consultation group to their support staff who are committed to serving our survivor communities.

Building and deepening our community care is at the front of our mission - and we are honored to align with the exact same mission of the YWCA.

OUR SERVICES

At Era Center we have come to understand traumatic stress in the broadest of senses. The individual, interpersonal, and systemic effects of sexual assault can be pervasive and unyielding. Our hope is to intercept these chain of events and restore safety and agency in others.

THERAPY

The journey we take together begins in the partnership we create in the therapeutic space. This is essential. The process will take time. We ask that you give yourself permission to come as you are when you are ready.

It can take a lot to get here.

PARTNERSHIP

PROGRAMS

We emphasize the importance of creating a more trauma-informed society with our neighboring community providers. We believe in stepping beyond our own walls and sharing our knowledge of sexual assault and its impact on the people we serve.

CONSULTATION

We offer extensive training specializing in treating traumatic stress. Our trauma-informed, interdisciplinary curriculum includes focused topics such as object relations and attachment theory, neurobiology of trauma,the violence of trauma in a social context , etc.

 SUPPORT OUR SUPPORTERS

Over the past few years we have been invited into spaces to sit alongside providers who are at the front lines of this work. Clinicians. Teachers. Volunteers. Foster parents. And there we have offered training, discussion, and restorative healing for these individuals who carry so much.

This is our commitment in this movement.

Community healing through community support.

Honored to have presented in Palo Alto to Kara's staff and volunteers who work with grief and loss in our communities. With a group of over 40 individuals, we discussed about the neurobiology of trauma and its vicarious effects on us as providers and humans.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers, like ourselves, need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask us for a Good Faith Estimate before scheduling.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit  www.cms.gov/nosurprises

 

We would like to acknowledge that Era Center is located on the indigenous land of Muwekma Ohlone.
