Domestic Abuse therapists in Nanaimo, British Columbia BC, Canada CA
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.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Domestic violence is often associated with emotions such as shame and embarrassment. People who have been abused often struggle to set boundaries, express needs in a healthy way, and identify red flags early on in relationships. Our therapy experience will largely involve processing the emotions that underlie the traumatic event and process regrets from within the relationship. Work around increasing self-worth and self-love will also be a fundamental factor in order to help you develop compassion and nurturance for the difficulties that you have endured.

I specialize in providing support to clients who are grappling with domestic abuse and violence, whether it is currently impacting their lives or they are in the process of recovering from past traumatic experiences. My approach is client-centered, meeting individuals where they are in their journey, assisting them in making informed decisions, and offering strategies to cope with the complex emotions that often arise from being in or recovering from an abusive and violent relationship.
