Abuse Survivors

Bruises heal but in abuse, there are scars as well.

It influences how you process, how you react, how you trust. And the scars stay long after the abuse has stopped.

If you are the victim of recent; or sometimes abuse; emotional, physical, sexual or verbal. You are not broken. You are not alone. And healing is possible.

Our safe counselling space holds space for you to unpack the past, reclaim your voice and begin building a life that is safe again.

You Deserve Support That Honors Your Story

Abuse can manifest in many ways: whether it is physically, or emotionally, or sexually, or psychologically. I’m sure you all know this, but no matter what type of loss it is, it hurts.

Perhaps you are still wondering why it happened.
Perhaps you have held it inside for years.
Or maybe you have shared your story before but not really been understood.

That’s where we come in.

Our therapists serve individuals who have survived:

• Childhood abuse or neglect
• Domestic violence or intimate partner abuse
• Sexual trauma or assault
• Emotional and psychological manipulation
• Spiritual abuse or control

We make room for you to not have to explain everything at once. Where they do not violate the boundaries you set. And where your healing is never anything but unrushed.

Types of Abuse We Work With

There is no right way to heal, like anything in life, it is unique to everyone. It may appear the same as the pain, but message the experience is intimate.

At Clamon Counseling Services, we help survivors of all types of abuse, no matter how far in the past or how long ago.

Emotional Abuse

Gaslighting, manipulation or criticism all the livelong day. You might feel lost, uncertain, or not trust yourself. We assist you in regaining confidence and clarity.

Physical Abuse

Never acceptable to hit, push or do any harm. The fear and tension can linger, even when it has passed. Therapy keeps you safe in your body.

Sexual Abuse

This includes any and all unwanted sexual touch, any and all coercion, and any and all sexual assault. We create a trauma-informed environment where healing unfolds softly and at your pace.

Verbal Abuse

Soothing phrases, violence or continuous screaming are able to destroy your self-esteem. We help you reclaim your voice and swap shame for strength.

Neglect

Childhood emotional or physical neglect can be particularly damaging. You have a sense of not being worthy, or as being invisible. We will restore your sense of value.

Signs You May Benefit From Abuse Survivor Therapy

Not sure if you’re ready? That’s okay. A lot of survivors suffer from obvious scars that become clearer the longer they suffer a loss.

You might be:

• Steering clear of some places, some people or some dialogues

• Playing memories back in your head or overthinking
• Having nightmares or flashbacks, or having trouble sleeping
• On the disconnection of body or identity

• Always feeling like you are “on the defense”

If any of these resonated, you are not alone and therapy can provide help.
