Domestic Abuse or Violence
Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Domestic Abuse or violence are experiences that are very difficult to work through. Working with a therapist who has experience and calm with these issues are key. I see these situations as escalated patterns where a person often gets activated by another person, and reacts with a part of themselves that is an extreme protector. Others experience this a threat and react in a variety of ways they have learned to survive. I believe these patterns can be changed, and relationships can be repaired with effort, willingness to be vulnerable in the work to understand and shift reactivity to more clear and calm responses. I have supported individuals, couple and families make these changes.

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.

Lisa Low (Alliance Counselling and Assessment Services)
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, BA, M.Ed., RCC
Either witnessing or experiencing domestic abuse can lead to feeling like your environment is unsafe and your life is out of control. This can have detrimental effects on you or your children. Our work together will focus on creating safety and security in your life, healing from unhealthy relationships and establishing healthier relationships in your life. My goal is to empower you to build the resilience needed to manage a difficult relationship, or find the strength to leave it, ultimately facilitating healing and fostering a path toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Samantha Diminutto
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
Domestic abuse and violence are topics that are being talked about more often in mainstream media, but unfortunately there is still a lot of misinformation about these topics out there. There can be more confusion internally about the topic of domestic abuse, about whether what is happening to you is normal or not, about what you should do. Without judgement, I bring a compassionate and clarifying presence to my clients through these difficult situations. We approach safety at whatever pace feels good, and help with transitions (within or outside of a relationship) based on individual preferences and needs.
