About
the Domestic Violence Program
Our Domestic Violence Program is dedicated to walking with survivors on their journey toward healing, safety, and empowerment. Staffed by a compassionate, team of psychoeducation/psychosocial counselors, therapists, legal advocates, and educators – each trained extensively in domestic violence – we offer holistic support that addresses emotional, legal, and practical needs.
Survivors and their families can access a wide range of services, including individual and group psychoeducational/psychosocial counseling, therapy, and legal advocacy.
Our psychoeducational and psychosocial counseling services also create space to identify and unlearn cultural myths that may hinder the healing journey, while integrating alternative healing practices that honor mind, body, and spirit. Every service is delivered with cultural humility and deep respect for the strengths survivors already carry. Whether seeking safety, stability, or healing, survivors are met with dignity, compassion, and unwavering support.
