Domestic Abuse Counseling in Rochelle IL
If you are a person who abuses the people that they love, and have recognized the situation, the only way to overcome your issues is through learning how to break the cycle of abuse, by getting to the root of your abusive patterns.
Braden Counseling Center understands that abuse does not just happen to show up, and there are generally issues from the past that trigger this behavior. Typically, these are from traumatic or childhood events that have occurred during your life. No matter why they are there, we can help you overcome and understand what is happening.
Our knowledgeable Rochelle domestic violence counselors focus on creating long term changes that will improve the way you manage your emotions in a non-violent and healthy way.
We can help you create positive behavioral patterns by showing you how you handle yourself during times of conflict and stress. However, before you attend weekly group sessions, you will need to have a two-hour evaluation session first.

Through respect, a mutual understanding, and most importantly open communication, you will begin to develop skills the deal with conflict when it arises.
However, if the abusive patterns are not addressed or overcome, they will more than likely continue or escalate. Therefore, if you are being abused by your significant other, contact us immediately. You will not find judgement, but rather a way to start healing. We can help you get to safety and provide counseling services so you can overcome the trauma from the abuse that has been put upon you.
