Therapy forSurvivors of Domestic Violence and Domestic Abuse in Denver

Find your path to healing with a trauma therapist in Denver.

Denver therapists for survivors of abusive relationships

If you’re a survivor of domestic violence in Denver, you are not alone.

At My Denver Therapy, we understand the complex and overwhelming emotions that follow experiencing domestic violence. Confusion, fear, anger, and a sense of being trapped are normal responses. You might even find yourself questioning your own actions, blaming yourself. Please know, unequivocally, that you are never responsible for the abusive actions of another.

We recognize the unique challenges faced by survivors of domestic violence. You might be experiencing:

  • Persistent Fear and Anxiety: Even after leaving, the trauma can linger, causing sleepless nights and a constant sense of unease.
  • Emotional Turmoil: Your emotions might feel jumbled, fluctuating between intense anxiety and numbness.
  • Hidden Trauma: You may be concealing the truth about your experience, fearing judgment or disbelief.
  • Shattered Self-Esteem: The critical voice in your head may be telling you that you are damaged and unlovable, making it difficult to trust your own judgment.

At My Denver Therapy, our team of trauma therapists offer a safe and supportive space to heal from the many effects of domestic violence and abuse.

Understanding the needs of domestic violence survivors

Every survivor’s journey is unique. We understand that your needs will vary. Our approach is rooted in:

  • Unconditional Respect and Belief: We listen without judgment, providing a safe space to share your experiences.
  • Prioritizing Safety: Due to the dynamics of power and control, we do not provide couples counseling for relationships with active abuse.
  • Empowering Healing: Our goal is to help you understand your experiences, break free from past patterns, and build a more constructive and adaptive future.

Accessible and discreet support

We understand that seeking help can be challenging. We offer:

  • In-Person Therapy: Conveniently located in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, we provide a comfortable and confidential environment.
  • Online Therapy: For those who prefer the flexibility and discretion of online counseling, we offer secure video, phone, and chat sessions. This option is especially helpful for those who are still trying to leave abusive situations, and need discretion.
  • Compassionate Support: Our therapists are dedicated to providing compassionate and empathetic care, ensuring you feel safe and supported throughout your healing journey.

Healing is possible. At My Denver Therapy, we are here to support you on your journey to recovery from emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, and domestic violence. Contact us today to schedule a consultation. Let us help you reclaim your life and build a future free from abuse.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.
