One thing I could suggest would be PsychCentral's "Find a Therapist" function:

https://psychcentral.com/find-help/

If you're in the U.S., & since you indicate your friend is in an abusive situation, perhaps the National Domestic Violence Hotline might be able to be of help:

1 (800) 799-7233

The National Domestic Violence Hotline ? The Hotline

Where I live, I would also place a call to our local mental health association. So if there is such an organization where you are, you might try that as well. Also consider calling any women's advocacy programs that may exist in your area.

Beyond that, a call to whatever crisis intervention hotlines serve your area might be another option. Here's a links to PsychCentral's listings of telephone hotlines & help lines:

I've had occasion to do some of this sort of thing in the past. My experience has been it's a matter of calling, calling, calling. Ask if the organization offers the type of service you're looking for or if they know who does. If not, ask whom they would suggest you call. And then call that place. Keep going until you've either found what you need or until you've exhausted the possibilities. To some extent, it becomes a matter of how important this is to you & how much time & effort you're willing to put into it.
