Intimate Partner Violence Therapy
At Guidepoint Clinic, we offer compassionate and non-judgmental therapy for individuals seeking to change harmful patterns in their relationships.
Is Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Therapy Right For Me?
If you’ve found yourself acting in ways that harm your partner — whether through verbal, emotional, or physical aggression — it can feel difficult to admit the impact of those behaviours. Many people who contribute to intimate partner violence struggle with patterns they don’t fully understand or intend. Therapy offers a safe and nonjudgmental space to take responsibility, gain insight, and build healthier ways of relating. You may benefit from IPV-focused therapy if you’ve noticed any of the following:
Difficulty Managing Anger
Explosive arguments, frequent outbursts, or aggressive reactions can damage trust and safety in a relationship. Therapy can help you learn skills to manage conflict without escalation.
Controlling Behaviours
Trying to monitor, restrict, or dominate a partner often comes from underlying fears or unmet needs. In therapy, you can explore the roots of these behaviours and practice healthier ways of relating.
Strained Relationships
Patterns of intimidation, disrespect, or abuse often erode intimacy and connection. Therapy provides tools to rebuild accountability and strengthen healthier relationship dynamics.
Guilt or Shame
Many people who contribute to IPV carry deep feelings of regret about their actions. Therapy offers support to process these emotions while taking steps toward meaningful change.
“When we move from blame to a healthy expression of feelings and needs, connection replaces conflict.”
Individual Therapy for Adults
We offer specialized therapy for Intimate Partner Violence to adults in Ontario or Newfoundland.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but help is just a call or click away. That’s what we’re here for.
