Online therapy for trauma and domestic violence recovery
Trauma can stay with you long after the event itself. Fatima has specialized experience providing psychotherapy to survivors of violence, helping them process trauma and move toward healthier lives.
How trauma can affect you
Trauma can follow many kinds of experiences, including violence at home, assault, sudden loss, or other events that felt overwhelming. Its effects are different for everyone and may include:
- Memories or images that come back when you do not want them to
- Feeling on edge, easily startled, or unsafe
- Avoiding people, places, or conversations that remind you of what happened
- Trouble sleeping, or nightmares
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or from others
Our approach
Healing from trauma takes safety and trust. We go at your pace, and you decide what you want to share and when. The focus is on helping you process what happened and build skills to feel more grounded in daily life.
Joining from home can make it easier to feel comfortable. We ask that you join from a private space where you can speak freely. If someone may be monitoring your phone or computer, use a device they cannot access when you look for support. The hotlines listed below can help you plan for safety, including how to use technology more safely.
