Experiencing domestic abuse can leave lasting emotional, physical, and psychological scars. Whether the abuse is emotional, verbal, physical, or psychological, healing is possible. At The Summit Counseling Center, we provide trauma-informed counseling for adults who are survivors of domestic abuse, helping them reclaim their voice, rebuild trust, and take empowered steps toward safety and recovery.

- Experience threats, manipulation, or control
- Have been physically harmed, isolated, or intimidated
- Struggle with guilt, shame, confusion, or low self-worth
