Intimate Partner Violence
Have you been the victim of intimate partner violence and are you looking for ways to manage your thoughts and emotions about the violence?
Intimate partner violence isn’t just about physical abuse. It could also include psychological, emotional and financial abuse.
It’s far more common than you might think. According to the CDC, intimate partner violence “affects millions of Americans”.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know when to get help, especially when you love someone so much and cannot understand why they’re hurting you. It might feel like it’s all in your head. You might even blame yourself.
But you don’t have to continue living this way. Working with a therapist can help you sort through these confusing thoughts and feelings so you can develop a more confident understanding of the situation and start feeling better.
Sessions with me are interactive and goal-oriented with a focus on helping you develop new beliefs so you can work toward gaining a stronger sense of yourself and feel better.
Often after the first appointment, you’ll walk away sensing some relief.
I work with people who are motivated and ready for change and who recognize the importance of a structured, direct therapeutic setting. Over the course of a few sessions and with weekly homework assignments, you’ll learn specific skills and coping mechanisms so you can eventually rely on yourself to feel better.
