Domestic Abuse therapists in Saanichton, 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.

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.

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.
