DISCLAIMERS W.O.M.E.N.~SV’s Domestic Violence Directory contains samples of the many resources available, obtained from three main sources: 1)direct contact with WOMEN~SV wherein the providers have demonstrated integrity, competence, and commitment to advocacy on behalf of survivors of domestic violence 2) referral by reputable agencies such as Next Door and YWCA’s Domestic Violence Support Network 3) clients who have had positive experiences in working with these providers. W.O.M.E.N.~SV is not guaranteeing a provider will produce a desired result. It is best to interview several, ask for references, etc. This list is for convenience only. Many providers are willing to negotiate fees and offer a sliding scale, flat fee, or reduced rate if you ask. If you are a provider with expertise in domestic violence and a track record of committed advocacy on behalf of domestic violence survivors, particularly those with affluent abusive partners, you are invited to submit your contact information and/or colleague(s)’ for consideration in this directory to: womensv@losaltoscf.org; subject heading: “Provider Referral.” If you have been in a relationship with an affluent abuser, and if you have been helped by an experienced provider who consistently demonstrated commitment, competence, and integrity in advocating on your behalf, you are invited (with their permission) to submit their contact information for consideration in this directory to: womensv@losaltoscf.org; subject heading: “Client Referral.” W.O.M.E.N.~SV’s Domestic Violence Directory is designed to continually evolve as a result of feedback from clients, providers, and agencies. However, inclusion in the directory is in no way to be construed as an absolute endorsement for any of the providers listed. Similarly, the absence of a particular provider is in no way to be construed as censure. Caveat emptor. As a client, you might consider asking attorneys, consultants, financial planners, etc. if 2-3 of their former clients would be willing to speak with you about their experiences. Try calling at least 3 references in a category, then choose the one best suited to your needs. These references may lead you to others. Please note: therapists may not be able to give references due to confidentiality.

In summary, this directory serves as a guide and database only, NOT as a directive. In the end, as a client or provider, you are the one most qualified to make your own informed decisions regarding who can best serve your needs. And as a client, you are the one best qualified to make your own decisions about who to hire and when or whether to leave an unhealthy relationship.
