Help Build a Safer Community—One Connection at a Time

At Supportive Counseling, LLC, we believe healing extends far beyond the therapy room. It happens when communities come together to support survivors, advocate for change, and create spaces where every person feels safe, valued, and empowered.

That's why we're excited to share that our founder, Jessica Straughn, is serving as the Recruitment Chair for the Harbor House of Central Florida's Young Professionals Board this year.

The Young Professionals Board is made up of individuals who are passionate about making a difference. Throughout the year, members support Harbor House through fundraising, community outreach, volunteer opportunities, and advocacy efforts that directly benefit survivors of domestic violence.

If you've been looking for a meaningful way to give back, grow your professional network, and make a lasting impact in Central Florida, we'd love to connect with you.

You don't need to have all the answers—you simply need a heart for serving your community.

☕ Jessica is always happy to grab coffee and share more about what it means to be part of the Young Professionals Board.

Send us a message or leave a comment if you'd like to learn more. We'd love to introduce you to this incredible community.

Together, we can create a future where every survivor has access to safety, hope, and healing.

💜 Building a Safer Florida Begins with Listening to Survivors.

At Supportive Counseling, LLC, we believe every survivor deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

Our founder and therapist, Jessica Straughn, recently attended *Creating a Blueprint for a Safer Florida: Needs Assessment Key Findings & Results," presented by Dr. Bethany Backes and the UCF Domestic Violence Blueprint Research Team.

This training explored statewide research examining the experiences and needs of domestic violence survivors, barriers to accessing services, and opportunities to strengthen support systems throughout Florida.

🌿 Why does this matter?

For many survivors, seeking safety and healing involves navigating challenges that extend far beyond the trauma itself. Access to resources, supportive relationships, and knowledgeable professionals can make a meaningful difference.

Understanding these challenges helps us continue advocating for compassionate, accessible, and survivor-centered care.

At Supportive Counseling, we remain committed to ongoing education, evidence-based trauma treatment, and community advocacy because supporting survivors means recognizing their experiences, respecting their choices, and working toward systems that better meet their needs.

💚 Every survivor's story matters. Every survivor deserves support.

We are grateful for opportunities to continue learning and contributing to conversations that promote safer, more supportive communities.

💛 We’re grateful to have spent part of the Central Florida Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (CFAMFT) Biennial CE Event discussing a subject deeply connected to our work at Supportive Counseling, LLC.

Our founder, Jessica Straughn, presented:
Domestic Violence: Promoting Safety and Resilience
During the session, we explored how clinicians can recognize domestic violence and coercive control, identify potential lethality concerns, consider digital and technology-related safety risks, conduct trauma-informed assessments, and collaborate with survivors on individualized safety planning.

One of the central messages of the training was simple but important: supporting safety does not mean taking away choice.

Trauma-informed domestic violence care creates space for survivors to be believed, informed, supported, and empowered in decisions about their own lives.
Thank you to the Central Florida Association for Marriage & Family Therapy for hosting this continuing education event and to the professionals who joined us for such an engaged and thoughtful conversation.

📣 Supportive Counseling, LLC also provides domestic violence, trauma-informed care, and clinician wellness trainings for agencies and professional teams. If your organization is looking for this type of education, we’d be honored to connect.

🌿 Therapy does not always have to happen while sitting across from someone in an office.

Supportive Counseling, LLC offers Walk & Talk Therapy for women who may feel more comfortable processing their thoughts while gently moving outdoors.

Walking side-by-side can make the therapeutic environment feel less formal and may help some clients feel more grounded, present, and comfortable opening up. You are always encouraged to move at a pace that feels supportive, take breaks, or sit when needed.

Walk & Talk Therapy may be helpful for women experiencing:
• Anxiety and persistent overwhelm
• Burnout or work-related stress
• Life transitions
• Relationship concerns and boundary challenges
• Low motivation or emotional disconnection
• Trauma-related concerns, when clinically appropriate

These sessions include the same compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based care provided through our other therapy services—simply in a different setting.

Walk & Talk Therapy is available in select Central Florida locations near Winter Park.

📣 A reminder for our Central Florida mental health community: Central Florida Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (CFAMFT)’s Biennial CE Event is coming up soon.

Our founder, Jessica Straughn , will present Domestic Violence: Promoting Safety and Resilience from 3:00–5:00 PM on October 23 at the Center for Health & Wellbeing in Winter Park.

This session goes beyond recognizing obvious signs of abuse. We’ll discuss how coercive control, lethality risk, digital monitoring, harassment, and other forms of abuse can affect safety—and how clinicians can respond without taking autonomy away from the person seeking help.

Participants will leave with practical strategies for trauma-informed assessment, safety planning, crisis response, intervention, and referral.
🎓 2 CE hours
📍 Winter Park, Florida

You can register for Jessica’s domestic violence session individually or attend CFAMFT’s full-day CE program.

Some experiences don’t feel “in the past” — even when years have gone by. If you’re living with intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of dread, you are not alone.

Supportive Counseling, LLC offers Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) — an evidence-based, structured trauma-processing approach designed for complex and cumulative trauma. NET helps you organize traumatic memories into a clear life story, so your brain and body can begin to recognize: it happened then… and you are safe now.

✅ Available via secure Telehealth for women in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida & Washington
🚶‍♀️ Also available through Walk & Talk Therapy (select Florida locations), when clinically appropriate

If you’re ready to explore trauma therapy that is compassionate, structured, and deeply respectful of your story, we would be honored to support you.
