Counselling for Domestic Abuse Recovery
at our Clinic in Burlington
Counselling at our Burlington clinic can help victims of domestic abuse through a number of ways.
Individual Therapy
Victims of domestic violence have to deal with self-esteem, stress, fear, and PTSD. Individual counseling can help these survivors of domestic violence by revealing a pattern of abuse so as to help create a safety plan, make them focus on their strengths, and teach them to deal with negative beliefs and mental problems.
Couples Counselling
Couples therapy is not recommended if violence is the basis of a relationship, since the counselling may not be as effective in an unhealthy dynamic. Some therapists may not want to work with a couple in an actively violent dynamic, but others can conduct a safe therapy session to promote open communication.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism
I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
