Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Have you experienced violence within a relationship? Have you experienced a random act of violence? This can be a single assault to experiencing years of abuse at the hands of a loved one. It can be abuse by a romantic partner, child, parent, friend, or stranger. Physical violence shocks our system and its sense of safety in the world creating long term consequences and contributing to ongoing stress. We can help to provide you a safe space to discuss your story while also increasing your sense of safety and trust. We can work to ensure your body and mind feel safe moving forward and do not carry the scars of this violence. Please contact us to begin this work and schedule your first appointment.

Self Ease Solutions
Counsellor/Therapist, PC
Physical Abuse hurts on many levels. Often an abused person makes excuses for the abuser and can absorb the negativity of such an outward and direct violation. My personal experience with this aids in being able to understand clients on a deeper level. Healing the emotional wounds that affect a persons self-worth, esteem, and confidence to name a few must be explored and healed so the cycle of abuse stops.

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.
