Feeling like a mere shadow of who you used to be, just going through the motions? The constant pretending and performing is draining. You've faced some tough challenges—it's overwhelming. You want to feel good again, without those past struggles constantly resurfacing. So, you put on a brave face, trying to be the person everyone expects you to be. But your relationships are shaky, and it’s frustrating when you lose your temper with someone you care about or can’t accomplish what you want to. You're worried others will grow tired of dealing with all your trauma. You're out of ideas on how to turn things around.

My ideal client is someone who may be at a crossroads in their life, recognizing that they are struggling with issues they cannot manage themselves and ready and willing to make a change. Their challenges might revolve around anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or addiction, possibly stemming from difficult life experiences, strained relationships, or a lack of purpose and fulfillment. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost, but beneath that, there is a desire for something better—a healthier and more meaningful life. Their needs often include a safe, non-judgmental space to express their feelings freely.

Domestic Abuse Therapists

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
