Domestic Abuse therapists in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada CA
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.

Rachel Brennan
Registered Psychotherapist, B.Sc., M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
As a certified trauma treatment professional with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support for survivors of domestic violence and abuse. I understand the profound impact that trauma can have on mental health and well-being, especially in the context of abusive relationships. I offer a safe and confidential space for survivors to explore their experiences, process their trauma, and work towards healing and empowerment.
Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, I help clients address the complex effects of trauma, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. EMDR is particularly effective in processing traumatic memories and reducing distressing symptoms, paving the way for healing and recovery. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, validation, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.
Survivors of domestic violence and abuse deserve compassionate support as they rebuild their lives and regain control. I am here to provide the guidance, tools, and resources needed to navigate this journey towards healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Together, we can work towards breaking free from the cycle of abuse and creating a life of safety, dignity, and empowerment.
