Shannon MacGregor
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, RTC, MTC, RCS, NARM Therapist
Domestic Abuse or Violence is any act carried out with the intention of physically or emotionally harming another person who is in relationship. The purpose of all abuse is to control the victim’s behavior by inducing fear to gain power and control. If you have been subjected to abuse in your life, your nervous system is likely still activated and we can work through your trauma responses to help you self regulate and manage your relationship with the abuser.

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.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You're living through one of life's most painful and dangerous experiences. Before anything else, you need to feel truly heard, believed, and validated—not questioned or judged. Once we've established that safety, we'll create a practical plan to protect you moving forward, whether you're ready to leave or still figuring out your next step. Then, when you're ready, we'll gently explore how past trauma shaped the beliefs that made this relationship possible—the ways you learned to minimize yourself, doubt your reality, or accept the unacceptable. Healing is possible. Safety is possible. You deserve both, and I'll support every step forward.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCC
Everyone has a right to be "safe" in their relationships, their home and within their families. I bring my years of experience working with victims and survivors within a policing environment to supporting clients impacted by violence in their relationships and/or abuse of any kind (sexual, emotional, financial, psychological, and criminal harassment/stalking).
