You’re not alone: 1 in 3 women experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, and many silently suffer ongoing abuse in their current relationships. If you are one of the many women carrying this painful reality, please know that what you are experiencing is not your fault, and you do not have to carry this burden alone.
Domestic abuse takes many forms—physical, emotional, verbal, financial, or spiritual. It can leave you feeling powerless, ashamed, or trapped. Too often, women remain silent because of fear, stigma, or uncertainty about where to turn. That silence can be even harder for those who face language barriers or cultural pressures. We understand these challenges and provide safe, compassionate care for every woman, including those in the Hispanic community who may feel more comfortable speaking in their primary language, español.
Through counseling, you will discover a safe, non-judgmental space where your story will be heard and your pain validated. You’ll also gain tools to protect yourself emotionally, begin healing from trauma, and explore safe options for moving forward. Our licensed bilingual telehealth counselor specializes in supporting women who have endured domestic abuse and is available to meet with you confidentially in either Spanish or English.
No woman should have to suffer in silence. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of courage and an important step toward reclaiming your future.
You deserve safety. You deserve healing. You deserve hope.
Many women ask themselves this question, especially when the abuse is not physical. Domestic abuse can take many forms—verbal insults, emotional manipulation, financial control, constant criticism, threats, or isolation from friends and family. If your partner’s words or actions make you feel unsafe, fearful, or trapped, it may be abuse. Abusers often downplay their behavior, leaving victims confused and doubting themselves. Trust your feelings—if something feels wrong, it deserves to be taken seriously. You are not overreacting, and you don’t have to face this uncertainty alone. Help and clarity are available.
While every woman’s journey is unique, there are common steps many take when moving toward freedom and healing. Often, the first step is recognizing the abuse and reaching out for support—whether from a trusted friend, family member, or professional counselor. Next, women begin building a safety plan that may include securing important documents, identifying safe housing, and arranging reliable transportation. Many also connect with legal, financial, or community resources to protect themselves and their children. Most importantly, they find emotional support through counseling, where they can process their trauma, rebuild confidence, and begin reclaiming their lives.
