Victims of Crime: Get Therapy Covered Through Utah’s Compensation Program

If you or someone you love has experienced a crime in Utah, you may be eligible for free mental health services through the Utah Office for Victims of Crime (UOVC). This state-funded program helps cover therapy costs so victims can begin healing—without the added stress of finances.

At Willow Therapy Utah, we’re proud to support those impacted by trauma by accepting Utah’s Victims of Crime Compensation. Our compassionate therapists provide evidence-based care to help you process what’s happened, rebuild safety, and restore emotional balance.

  • Assault or domestic violence

  • Child abuse or neglect

  • Homicide or attempted homicide
