Domestic Violence Whole Family Care

We are certified by the Utah Association of Domestic Violence Treatment Providers to provide individual and group counseling for survivors and intervention for those who have used violence with their families. Our therapists are trained in a variety of techniques, integrating trauma-focused care and quality mental health services to create a healing environment for the trauma of living with violence. We understand that domestic violence is traumatic for everyone involved. We help create an environment of accountability and responsibility for bringing peace to our families and our communities.

Domestic Violence Assesments

We provide full, state-certified assessments for individuals who have been charged with domestic violence and are seeking an evaluation for intervention needs. We work with the courts, probation, DCFS, ecclesiastical leaders, families, and your established networks of support to create a tailored-to-you plan for increasing the peace & love in your life, after an act of violence.

Trauma Survivor Counseling Services

Women Empowering Women Support Group

This group is focused on creating a safe, accepting space for female-identified trauma survivors to talk about domestic violence, sexual assault, and other traumatic experiences that have affected their sense of empowerment. This group integrates multi-media, meditation, and supportive communication to promote learning about safety planning, community resources, self-advocacy, appropriate boundaries, and healthy relationships.  Participants work with peer support and each other on learning specific techniques to help manage depression and anxiety, to cope with stress in healthy, effective ways, and to increase overall functionality, community involvement, and empowerment.  Our Women Empowering Women Support Group is facilitated by a trained peer advocate with support from clinical staff. This group is low barrier/donation based. If you are interested in joining this group, please contact our office.
