Understanding Abuse

There is a profound and lasting impact that abuse–physical, emotional, sexual, or verbal–can have on a person. Abuse can touch many parts of a person’s life, affecting their self-image, relationships, mental welfare, and emotional well-being. If you or someone you care about is navigating the aftermath of abuse, abuse counseling in West Palm Beach can provide a safe space for healing, support, and growth.

Physical abuse involves the use of violence or force upon another person. Survivors of physical abuse may experience long-term emotional and psychological effects and the trauma associated with these memories.

Emotional and psychological abuse can be just as damaging as physical violence, using manipulation, insults, gaslighting, and control tactics to destroy your self-worth and confidence. Through therapy, clients can rebuild their sense of identity and establish boundaries.

Survivors of sexual abuse, whether it happened in childhood or as an adult, often face significant emotional and psychological challenges. We understand that sexual abuse is a sensitive and complex form of trauma and offer trauma-informed care to help survivors process these deeply painful experiences.

Childhood abuse and neglect survivors can experience long-term effects that influence adult behavior and mental health. Abuse counseling in West Palm Beach offers tools for healing from past wounds and breaking cycles of trauma, all while building healthier relationships and a more empowered future.

Specialized Therapy for Abuse Survivors

We understand that healing from abuse is a complicated, nonlinear process. Premier Counseling Center is dedicated to personalizing your therapy process in order to offer you and you alone the tools needed for success.

● Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective therapy for the trauma remaining after abuse. It involves processing distressing memories while focusing on external stimuli such as guided eye movements. Dual attention helps clients reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional weight on the brain and allowing for healthier coping.
