Honoring Military Families This November

At North Shore Family Counseling, we proudly recognize Military Family Month—a time to honor the strength, sacrifice, and resilience of the families who serve alongside our nation’s heroes.

Behind every service member stands a family navigating distance, uncertainty, and transition with extraordinary courage. Whether you’re a spouse holding down the home front, a parent managing change, a servicemember processing transition and seeking space for your safety, or a child waiting for a loved one to return—your story matters, and you are not alone.

This month, we celebrate your unwavering commitment and highlight the importance of support, connection, and community for military families. 💙

Stay tuned throughout November as we share resources, stories of resilience, and tips to strengthen connection and emotional well-being for military families and those who serve them.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month is coming to an end, our commitment to survivors remains steadfast—this month and every month.

At Northshore Family Counseling, LLC, we hold deep respect for the courage it takes to reach out after experiencing abuse. We understand that healing is not linear, and that every story, every survivor, and every journey deserves gentleness and care.

Our trauma-informed team is dedicated to creating spaces where you feel:
✨ Safe — free from judgment, pressure, or fear.
✨ Seen — your experiences are valid, and your story matters.
✨ Supported — healing happens in connection, not isolation.

Whether you’re taking your first step toward therapy or continuing your journey of recovery, you don’t have to do it alone. Healing is possible, and support is available whenever you’re ready.

💜 If you or someone you know needs help, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233 or thehotline.org.
Our practice is here as an additional resource for trauma-informed care and compassionate support.

You don’t need all the answers to support someone experiencing abuse. Sometimes, the most powerful things you can offer are:
💜 Listening without judgment
💜 Believing their story
💜 Offering resources without pressure
💜 Standing beside them, not above them

Together, we can create a community where survivors are supported and believed.

Today, we'd like to discuss the importance of taking steps for safety planning 💜

If you or someone you know is in an unsafe relationship, a safety plan can provide valuable support.

Key steps may include:
✔️ Identifying safe places and people you can contact
✔️ Preparing important documents and essentials
✔️ Having a code word with trusted friends/family
✔️ Knowing the National DV Hotline: 1-800-799-7233

💜 Safety is the first step. Healing is the journey that follows. At Northshore Family Counseling, our counselors offer a safe, confidential place to begin.

10/10/2025

For many survivors, the hardest step is reaching out. Silence can feel protective and safer; and, silence can also carry the weight of loneliness and fear.

When you’re ready, therapy can be the place where your voice matters. Where it is about you and your story. Where it is about your healing, and you get to put yourself first.

At Northshore Family Counseling, we provide trauma-informed approaches - such as Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and EMDR - to process experiences, reclaim safety, and reconnect with inner strength.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

The Hidden Wounds: Trauma After Abuse

Domestic violence can leave more than physical scars, as the action is not always physical. Survivors may experience:

Hypervigilance and anxiety
Sleep difficulties
Difficulty trusting others
Feelings of shame or worthlessness

These responses are not a sign of weakness—they are the body and mind’s way of protecting you.
Healing is possible, and no one has to do it alone💜

Our trauma-informed therapists specialize in recovery and resilience with compassionate, holistic care that ties together the mind, body, and spirit in healing.
