About Counseling
Our licensed therapists offer individual and family counseling to survivors of domestic violence and their children. Counseling is a safe space created by a therapeutic relationship between a client and a licensed counselor. This is a space to provide opportunities for clients to discuss personal concerns and begin to develop new strategies to approach life or gain insight to oneself.
We offer individual adult, individual children, and family therapy. Our therapists are trained in multiple modalities designed to process and heal from trauma, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy and STAIR (Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation).
