Counseling

  If you are in immediate danger, Call 911. 

Healing from the trauma of domestic violence is a journey, and our counseling services are here to support you and your children every step of the way. We provide free, confidential, and trauma-informed individual and group counseling in a safe and supportive environment.

Our compassionate counselors understand the profound and lasting impact of domestic violence. Working from an empowerment model, we focus on your strengths and resilience, helping you to:

  • Heal from trauma: We provide a safe space to process your experiences, develop coping strategies, and begin to release the emotional burden of abuse.

  • Rebuild self-esteem: Domestic violence often erodes self-worth. Our counselors will help you rediscover your inherent value, build confidence, and foster a stronger sense of self.

  • Gain emotional support: You don't have to carry this burden alone. We offer a compassionate and validating space where you can share your feelings and receive understanding.

  • Support your journey: Whether you are just beginning to heal or are further along in your process, our counselors will walk alongside you, offering guidance and encouragement as you move towards a future free from violence.

  • Support children's healing: We also offer specialized counseling for children who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence, providing age-appropriate support to help them process their experiences and build resilience.

Our goal is to empower you and your children to reclaim your lives, foster healthy relationships, and build a future filled with hope and well-being.
