Intimate Partner Violence Therapy (IPV)

Domestic violence is also called intimate partner violence (IPV). It includes physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, as well as sexual coercion and stalking by a current or former intimate partner. An intimate partner is a person with whom you have or had a close personal or sexual relationship. Intimate partner violence affects millions of women each year in the United States.

Treatment/Help: Psychotherapies may be used to address the multiple stressors for anyone who is experiencing IPV or have had past IPV experiences, including:

  • trauma
  • anxiety/panic attacks/fear
  • depression/disassociation/detachment
  • immediate need for safety-develop a safety plan.
  • immediate need for resources
  • support for loss of an intimate relationship
  • social isolation
  • parenting issues
  • financial burdens

Together, we would develop a plan to ensure immediate safety and what your best options are specific for your needs!
