ABUSE

Main types of abuse are verbal, emotional, sexual, and physical. Typically when we see one type there is another as well, even if it is more subtle. When one experiences verbal abuse, there often is an emotional impact that comes along with that, altering one’s self-esteem, self-worth and overall identity. Abuse of any kind also tends to leave its fingerprint for years to come. Therapy is essential for individuals who experience any type of abuse to help them to process the events, but also to help them in finding their resilience, strength, voice and purpose. When coming to therapy to navigate the road of how trauma has impacted an individual or a family, it is important to seek out a trauma-informed therapist. Our team is equipped with clinicians who specialize in trauma, and who utilize ground-breaking treatment with EMDR and Brainspotting.
