Domestic abuse and violence is disorientating, terrifying and devastating to your sense of self. While it can leave deep emotional and physical scars, healing is possible. Whether you’re currently in an abusive relationship, just out of one, or recovering from the impact, our experienced counselors provide a safe, supportive environment to guide your journey toward freedom and healing.
Let’s Talk
Domestic abuse is a pattern of behavior used to control, intimidate, or harm a partner. It can take many forms, including:
These experiences often leave survivors feeling trapped, isolated, and powerless. You are not alone, and healing is possible.
Survivors often experience:
Lots of feelings of disorientation, confusion, and sometimes guilt
Difficulty trusting yourself or establishing healthy boundaries
Chronic stress, fatigue, or other health problems
Questioning your worth, decisions, or ability to move forward
Our trauma-focused therapy provides a pathway to healing that is tailored to your needs and experiences. Here’s how we work with survivors of domestic abuse:
Establish a safe emotional and physical space where you can begin your healing journey.
If necessary, we can help you develop a safety or escape plan
domestic violence really spins your compass.
Your therapist will help you re-ground yourself in reality, assert your own truth, and return to making your own choices
Work through the impact of abuse in a gentle, non-judgmental environment
Develop tools to rebuild self-esteem, set boundaries, and create a fulfilling, abuse-free future of either independence or healthy interdependence
Our therapists are highly trained in helping survivors of domestic abuse reclaim their lives
in a way that supports their autonomy and independence. With empathy and expertise, they provide
a safe space for healing and growth
