Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services for survivors of domestic abuse or violence provide a compassionate, safe space to address the trauma and complex emotions arising from abusive relationships. Understanding that domestic abuse can take many forms—physical, emotional, sexual, financial—we offer tailored support to empower individuals as they navigate their journey of healing and reclaim their lives.
Empowering Survival and Healing from Domestic Abuse
* Trauma-Informed Care: Drawing from trauma-informed approaches, our counseling services prioritize safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment, acknowledging the profound impact of trauma on an individual's life and facilitating a path toward recovery.
* Safety Planning: We assist clients in developing comprehensive safety plans, whether they are preparing to leave an abusive situation, in the process of leaving, or have already left. This planning addresses immediate safety, legal protections, financial security, and long-term independence.
* Emotional Support: Our counseling provides a supportive environment to process emotions such as fear, guilt, shame, anger, and grief, while also working to rebuild self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of self-worth that has been eroded by abuse.
* Healing from Trauma: Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques, we assist clients in processing and healing from the trauma of abuse, anxiety, and depression.
* Rebuilding Life Skills: The path to recovery includes rebuilding life skills that may have been lost or diminished due to abuse. We support clients in gaining independence, making their own decisions, and establishing a healthy, self-determined life.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Healing from domestic violence is not about forgetting the past — it’s about reclaiming your power, your peace, and your purpose. You are not defined by what was done to you but by the strength it takes to rise again. Through truth, forgiveness, and love, you can rebuild your confidence and rediscover your worth. God has not abandoned you — He is rewriting your story with grace and redemption. Freedom begins the moment you believe you are worthy of it. You are not a victim; you are a survivor becoming victorious. Your healing begins today.
