"You deserve a space where you can be fully yourself. Messy, uncertain, strong, all of it. That's what we built CWC to be."
Kendra Miguez, Founder
Do you feel afraid in your own home? Is your partner’s anger or controlling behavior making you question your safety? At Colorado Women’s Center (CWC), we understand how deeply domestic violence can affect every area of a woman’s life—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Our therapists specialize in supporting women who have experienced intimate partner violence, providing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honors your strength and resilience. You don’t have to face this alone—reach out today to begin healing.
Domestic violence is a complex pattern of abusive behavior used by one intimate partner to maintain power and control over another. It can include physical abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, and economic abuse. These behaviors often escalate over time and affect not only the direct victim but also family members, including children. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, education levels, and sexual orientations. The effects can be profound and long-lasting, impacting a person’s physical and mental health, emotional stability, and overall quality of life. Recognizing the signs of abuse—such as physical violence, constant criticism, forcing isolation, or threatening physical harm—is the first step toward seeking help and reclaiming your life.
At Colorado Women’s Center, our approach to domestic violence therapy is grounded in empathy, empowerment, and evidence-based techniques. We believe in meeting you where you are and helping you regain a sense of safety and self-worth. Here’s how we support survivors:
Q: How is domestic violence therapy at CWC different from general therapy?
A: At Colorado Women’s Center, our therapists are specially trained in trauma-informed care and understand the unique gender-based dynamics of intimate partner violence. We incorporate evidence-based modalities—like EMDR and trauma-focused CBT—that specifically address the effects of abuse.
Q: Will I have to discuss my experiences in detail right away?
A: No. We honor your pacing and readiness. Your therapist will focus on establishing safety, trust, and coping skills first. You decide how much or how little to share in each session.
Q: How long will therapy take?
A: Every survivor’s journey is different. Some clients find relief in a few months; others benefit from ongoing support for a year or longer. Together, we set goals and regularly review progress to ensure therapy remains aligned with your needs.
Q: What if I’m still living with my abuser? Can I still seek therapy?
A: Yes. If you are not yet ready—or able—to leave your situation, therapy can help you develop safety strategies, identify resources, and build resilience until you feel ready to take action. Our clinicians respect your choices and provide nonjudgmental support.
Q: How confidential is therapy at Colorado Women’s Center?
A: Our confidential services are protected by HIPAA and state laws. We will never share details of your sessions without your explicit consent, except if there is an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, as mandated by law.
Q: Do you assist with legal or protective orders?
A: While CWC does not provide legal services directly, our clinicians can guide you to trusted community partners—legal advocates, law enforcement liaisons, and pro bono attorneys—who specialize in protective orders and family law.
