Is it really domestic abuse?

If your partner’s words or actions make you feel unsafe, fearful, or trapped, it may be abuse. Abusers often downplay their behavior, leaving victims confused and doubting themselves. Trust your feelings—if something feels wrong, it deserves to be taken seriously. You are not overreacting, and you don’t have to face this uncertainty alone. Help and clarity are available.

Why Seek Domestic Abuse Counseling?

Domestic abuse affects more than immediate safety—it can impact emotional health, relationships, self-esteem, and future trust. Counseling can help you:

  • Recognize unhealthy and abusive patterns
  • Develop personalized safety and recovery plans
  • Heal from trauma and emotional wounds
  • Regain self-worth and confidence
  • Rebuild trust and healthier relationships

Creating a New Future

While every woman’s journey is unique, there are common steps many take when moving toward freedom and healing. Often, the first step is recognizing the abuse and reaching out for support—whether from a trusted friend, family member, or professional counselor. Next, women begin building a safety plan that may include securing important documents, identifying safe housing, and arranging reliable transportation. Many also connect with legal, financial, or community resources to protect themselves and their children. Most importantly, they find emotional support through counseling, where they can process their trauma, rebuild confidence, and begin reclaiming their lives.

Andrea Inostroza, MS, LLPC

"I specialize in helping women who are coming to terms with an abusive relationship. As a mental health therapist, I see my role as both an honor and a responsibility. I know how deeply mental health touches every part of a person’s life, and I approach each client as someone with a story worth hearing.

The relationship I build with my clients is at the heart of everything I do. I work to create a safe space where people feel free to share honestly. I know that vulnerability is hard, so I put a lot of effort into building trust. This connection is what makes it possible to explore tough emotions and make real progress.
