Rape Victim's ability to sue

my friend is a victim of rape and has had visits to a psychologist and counselor to try and recover from the trauma. the rapist is out of prison and working. the victim had not been able to afford the psychologist and now only has limited counseling because of the costs involved. can the victim sue the convicted rapist to cover the costs of her therapy?
