Domestic violence is prevalent and dangerous. Recent research has reported that just under 15% of women (14.8%) and 4% of men in the US have been injured as a result of intimate partner violence which included rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner.1 

An average of 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States — more than 12 million women and men over the course of a single year.2 If you or a loved one are experiencing intimate partner violence, below are some local domestic violence shelters and resources for survivors of domestic violence. There are a variety of organizations and non-profits created for advocacy against domestic abuse.

Counseling Services for Domestic Violence Survivors

For individuals experiencing or having just survived a domestic violence situation, AMFM Mental Health Treatment can offer PTSD residential programming or counseling options at the outpatient care level.

Inpatient/Residential Treatment

Residential mental health facilities are designed to offer mental health resources, structure, and treatment plans to those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions in a live-in environment. Because these are inpatient behavioral health programs, they offer a more holistic and hands-on, in-person treatment approach with 24/7 access to health care and personalized treatment plans. Our Residential Facilities have qualified clinicians on staff, to provide medication management, therapeutic programming, and the highest level of care.

Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based treatment, and psychoeducation resources. IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers intensive outpatient programs with both in-person and virtual treatment (telehealth) options to meet your unique needs.

Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP)

PHP is a form of mental health treatment designed to help those struggling with mental health issues through a combination of group and individual therapy, to improve well-being. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. PHP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. 

Unlike inpatient residential treatment, the partial hospitalization program option only takes place during the day, allowing clients to return home at night and on the weekends, with less disruption to daily life. This level of care may be helpful for those continuing studies or work in the evenings or on the weekends. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

Types of Therapy for Domestic Violence Survivors

AMFM Mental Health Treatment combines holistic and evidence-based mental health services in order to help each person overcome their particular risk factors and challenges with a fresh toolkit of skills. AMFM uses different treatment modalities depending upon the individual inpatient center. In the case of individuals with trauma, particularly in the cases of domestic violence, therapeutic care and mental health resources are often geared toward recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder and other trauma challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy. By activating the prefrontal cortex through a series of bilateral stimulation, qualified professionals can lead you through traumatic experiences, helping you to alleviate the distress symptomized by trauma. When struggling with high-stress environments, common stressors and traumatic events, EMDR therapy is highly recommended for effective treatment.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes.3 Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT, or “talk therapy,” helps process emotions by talking through situations with a qualified individual, in order to move forward with healthier ways of navigating interpersonal relationships, minimizing physical and emotional stress.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, encouraging peer support through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds.

Individual Therapy

Our individual therapy sessions for men provide a safe, one-on-one space to explore personal challenges and develop effective coping strategies, utilizing evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). These tailored sessions focus on addressing root causes of mental health concerns and fostering long-term resilience.

Holistic Therapies

Our inpatient program integrates holistic therapies into our treatment plans to address the mind-body connection, using mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and nutritional guidance. These practices enhance overall well-being and complement evidence-based therapies for comprehensive healing.

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

ECT is a form of “Shock Therapy,” designed for brain stimulation, and only utilized in cases of severe depression. While ECT has historically gotten a bad reputation, when properly administered it can be a useful tool for those who cannot accept psychiatric assistance.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

TMS is a type of therapy that uses magnetic pulses to treat anxiety and depression by stimulating certain areas of the brain. This is a noninvasive method of treatment that some mental health programs offer. 

Family Therapy

AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers family therapy through virtual family support groups that provide a dedicated time for families who’ve lived through domestic violence to engage in supportive and constructive interactions, fostering stronger relationships, and enhancing the overall treatment experience.
