Survivors Find Healing and Strength with Compassionate Therapy

Navigating the current or aftermath of domestic violence and sexual violence can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. At Winged Transformations Counseling PLLC, we offer specialized therapy services designed to support and empower survivors through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. Whether someone is still in the relationship and is not ready to leave, or a client is actively looking to exit the relationship, our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to release, reclaim your power, and move through it with hope and healing.

We are grounded in the principles of trauma-informed care, ensuring that every session is conducted with sensitivity, empathy, safety, and respect for your personal journey. Trauma-informed care recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and seeks to create an environment where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to heal. We understand that trauma can affect various aspects of your life, and our goal is to provide a compassionate and responsive approach that honors your experiences and fosters resilience.

 We understand that each survivor's journey is unique, and our therapy services are tailored to address your specific needs and experiences. Our comprehensive approach includes:

Individual Therapy: Our one-on-one sessions offer a private space where you can explore your feelings, process your experiences, and develop strategies for coping and healing. Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that each session is conducted with sensitivity and respect.

Group Therapy: Connect with others who understand your experiences through our supportive group therapy sessions. Group therapy provides a sense of community and shared understanding, allowing you to gain strength and support from others who have faced similar challenges. Our groups are led by experienced therapists who facilitate healing and growth in a safe environment.

Trauma-Informed Care: Our therapists are specially trained in trauma-informed care, an approach that recognizes the impact of trauma and seeks to create a supportive and empathetic environment. We prioritize your safety and comfort, helping you rebuild trust and confidence in your journey towards healing.

Safety Planning: Your safety is our priority. We work with you to develop personalized safety plans that address your specific needs and circumstances. Our goal is to help you feel secure and empowered as you navigate your chosen path.

Empowerment and Resilience Building: We focus on empowering you to regain control over your life and build resilience. Through therapy, we help you identify your strengths, set goals, and develop coping strategies that support your long-term well-being.

Psychoeducation: Understanding the effects of abuse and trauma can be an important part of the healing process. We provide psychoeducation to help you make sense of your experiences and learn about the psychological impact of trauma, giving you tools to support your recovery.

Resource and Support Navigation: We offer guidance on accessing additional resources and support services that may be beneficial to your healing journey. Whether you need legal assistance, housing support, or community resources, we are here to help connect you with the appropriate services.
