Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Counselling can help if clients are experiencing domestic abuse or violence. It is often difficult to seek help because we start believing we deserve it, or we are afraid to stand up for ourselves, we're afraid the abuser will get worse, or we don't know how we'll survive financially. There is help out there and support from trained professionals who have often experienced domestic abuse themselves. Safety is the number one concern. Clients will experience relief when they are able to get help because they'll learn there is life outside of abuse. It is possible to heal and thrive after abuse.

Nicholas Breitenbach
Psychologist, R. Psych, CST, MA, BA
Domestic abuse can leave you feeling scared, confused, isolated, and unsure of what’s “normal” anymore—especially when there’s coercive control, intimidation, or cycles of apology and escalation. I provide a trauma-informed, non-judgmental space to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, rebuild your sense of self and safety, and explore your options at your pace. We can also talk through boundaries and safety considerations in a way that respects your autonomy and reality. If you’re in immediate danger, please call 911 or access local emergency supports.

If you’re suffering in your marriage or partnership we can help you protect yourself, and stand on your two feet again as abuse usually brings self esteem down. Trusting yourself again is an important goal in these situations.
