First, find out if she has insurance. If so, you can go to her insurance company's website and locate a therapist that is in her network.
If she does not have insurance, go to this website (http://www.rainn.org/counseling-centers/index.html) and enter your zip code and state. This will provide you with counseling centers in your area.

You can call the 24 hr. rape-hotline
303-322-7273 for English 303-329-0032 for Spanish
(check your phone book under Community Service Numbers or dial 1-411) they can refer you.
Or, Your county has a public mental health. (In Jefferson County it's called Jefferson Center for Mental Health)
You can call a hospital, they have social workers that will answer your questions.
What your friend needs is to have a friend like you,
willing and able to come alongside
realizing your own limitations
and taking steps to do for her what she cannot do for herself right now.
Yes, every survivor of sexual assault needs some extra help to get through this. A therapist is a good way to go.

I would just go on-line and search therapist's in your area. It's really hard to choose one though, because it depends on his/her personality. Some people go to several different therapist's before they find the right one for them. That is horrible that happened to her, and I think your a great friend to try and help her like that! At least she's got you!! Good luck to her and best wishes!!
