  • Therapy provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to process their experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual trauma. We help survivors navigate the complex emotions and challenges that often accompany these traumas. Through therapy, survivors can learn to identify and address the impacts of IPV and sexual trauma on their mental and emotional well-being.

  • 1. Trauma Processing: We use evidence-based approaches to help survivors process trauma, reduce distressing symptoms, and promote a sense of safety and empowerment.

    2. Rebuilding Trust: Survivors often grapple with trust issues following IPV and sexual trauma. Therapy can support individuals in rebuilding trust in themselves and in others, fostering healthier relationships in the future.

    3. Setting Boundaries: We assist survivors in setting and maintaining boundaries, which can be crucial in reestablishing a sense of control and autonomy.

    4. Coping Strategies: Therapy equips survivors with coping strategies to manage triggers, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges that may arise from their experiences.

    5. Empowerment and Advocacy: Survivors can reclaim their voice, build self-esteem, and explore avenues for advocacy and empowerment within their communities. By seeking therapy with us, survivors of IPV and sexual trauma can embark on a journey toward healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of agency in their lives.
