Do you live in constant fear or uncertainty at home?
When you’re experiencing domestic abuse, whether emotional, verbal, physical, financial, or spiritual, it can feel like your world is shrinking. You might question yourself constantly, walk on eggshells, or wonder what you did wrong. You may not even be sure if what you’re experiencing “counts” as abuse.
But deep down, you know something isn’t right.
At Purpose Counseling, we help you find safety, clarity, and confidence one step at a time.
Has fear taken over your life?
Fear can show up in so many ways: fear of leaving, fear of being alone, fear of what others—your church, your family, your friends—might say. You may fear what will happen to your kids or your pets if you go. You may worry about how you’ll survive financially or emotionally on your own. These fears can be paralyzing and make it hard to see a way out. Therapy can help you explore these fears in a safe, nonjudgmental space and find real options for safety and stability.
Do you constantly feel guilt or blame yourself?
Many survivors carry deep shame or guilt. You might hear an inner voice whispering, “I deserve this” or “I should’ve seen it coming.” Abuse distorts your sense of reality and worth, leaving you questioning your own judgment. In therapy, we help you understand how trauma and control patterns shape those thoughts—so you can replace blame with truth, compassion, and self-respect.
Do you feel trapped and powerless?
Abuse is designed to make you feel like you don’t have choices. You might feel disconnected from who you are, unsure how to move forward, or stuck between impossible decisions. Whether you choose to stay, prepare to leave, or are rebuilding after leaving, our work together centers around helping you regain control of your life.
​
It’s not always easy to take the first step—but you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your story, your values, and what safety and healing mean for you.
How Therapy Works
We help you take back your voice and your life.
​
At Purpose Counseling, we walk beside survivors of domestic abuse with compassion and practical support. We help you learn to cope, rebuild confidence, and make empowered decisions—whether that means staying, leaving, or finding peace where you are right now.
​
Your choices are yours. We help you make them confidently and safely.
​
-
We start with your story. You share what’s been happening at your pace, without pressure or judgment. We work together to understand your beliefs, fears, and goals.
-
We identify your supports. We help you strengthen safe relationships, build a safety plan, and create a sense of stability—emotionally and practically.
-
We explore your next steps. Together, we develop a plan that aligns with your needs and values—whether that’s staying safe in your current situation, preparing to leave, or navigating life afterward.
-
We work toward healing. We use trauma-informed therapy to help you rebuild your identity, manage anxiety, and rediscover your strength and voice.
You don’t have to rush the process. Healing from abuse is about moving from survival to living fully again.
Why Work With Us
We understand that domestic abuse is complex. Many of our clinicians have extensive training and experience in trauma-focused therapy and crisis response. Our team has worked with survivors through domestic violence hotlines, human trafficking outreach, and trauma-informed counseling.

We take a compassionate, faith-sensitive approach—honoring your beliefs and values while supporting your safety and healing. If your faith is important to you, we can explore what Scripture says about worth, love, and protection in ways that affirm your dignity and autonomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will you call the police or report my situation?
We only make reports when legally required—such as if there is child abuse, elder abuse (age 65+), or animal abuse. If a report needs to be made, we’ll talk about it together and, whenever possible, make that call alongside you.
​
2. What if I choose to stay?
You are never judged for your decision. Many clients choose to stay for a variety of reasons—safety, children, finances, faith, or emotional ties. Our work focuses on helping you stay as safe as possible, set boundaries, and build emotional resilience.
​
3. Can therapy really help if I’m not ready to leave?
Yes. Therapy can help you rebuild your sense of self, manage fear, and understand the dynamics of abuse so you can make decisions that are informed, confident, and safe. Healing begins the moment you start giving yourself permission to speak and be heard.
​
4. Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth sessions, so you can access support from a safe and private location. If safety is a concern, we can discuss ways to ensure your confidentiality and create a plan that works for you.
