Hi there,
I have been reading some posts that mention DV counselors, and I am trying to find out where to locate them. I would like to go by myself initially. We have a local women's shelter that has group meetings, but I would really like to have a counselor. Do the women't shelter's have a referral possibly?
Just thought I'd ask for any info on this and what your experiences have been with DV counseling. Thanks so much

Yes, the women's shelter should have a list of DV counselors. If not, you could call your local clinic and ask to speak to someone in behavioral health. That's how I found my counselor. And she was a God send! She helped me work through so many fears. I am now almost fully recovered from what my XH did to me. For years I would have nightmares. The last nightmare I had re: his abuse was two and half years ago, when I was pregnant with my last child.
In my experiences, I found her to be VERY comforting! It's amazing what you find out about yourself through DV counseling. :)
GOOD LUCK!!
