Domestic Abuse or Violence
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
In my work with victims of domestic abuse and violence, I focus on increasing self-worth, self-compassion, and self-love. It is by working on these aspects of ourselves that we come to recognize that we deserve more.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
From my earliest years, a deep-seated commitment to justice took root in me, sparked by the passion of a Harvard-educated lawyer portrayed by Barry Newman in the television series Petrocelli. This attorney, forsaking the allure of Wall Street wealth, dedicated himself to serving the voiceless and underserved, often for a symbolic one-dollar fee. This childhood inspiration propelled me to pursue a legal career at the University of Buenos Aires to become a criminal lawyer at the age of 22. Although my professional journey led me through roles as an actor and ordained minister, culminating in my current roles as a psychotherapist and coach, I never strayed from my passion to protect the innocent and champion justice whenever needed.
Over the last few decades, I have intentionally immersed myself in the realm of domestic violence and abuse, driven by a conviction that, while understanding the roots of such actions in the trauma and pain of the perpetrators, we must stand firm to halt the cycle of violence and protect the victims. Though navigating this work while victims are still ensnared within the power dynamics of abuse is delicate and perilous, it brings extraordinary fulfillment to assist someone in breaking free. In rare cases, I've had the privilege of aiding abusers in turning their lives around.
Given my background as a criminal lawyer, minister, and specialized psychotherapist, it is my profound honour to support those in need, guiding them to break free from the grips of abuse and use their traumatic experiences as a catapult toward a life of fulfillment, freedom, and empowerment. The journey from victimization to liberation is undoubtedly treacherous and delicate, yet it stands as one of the most fulfilling paths one can take when breaking free from any form of abuse or violence.
Please don't hesitate to reach out, knowing that I stand ready to be in your corner, offering suggestions and guidance on how to avoid further harm and, ultimately, emerge free from the shackles of abuse or violence.

Healing and Empowerment Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Teri Dunbar, LCSW
Are you tired of having your past experience or past traumas interfere with your ability to have the life you want? Or are you a parent of a child that has experienced trauma and don’t want that experience to dictate the course of their life?
I help adolescents and young adults that have experienced trauma and are experiencing feelings of shame, anger, detachment, anxiety, and depression, and having a difficult time in their relationships, work, and day to day life. I help them to overcome and cope with such feelings, and empower them to have the life they want through healing from their past traumas.
I specialize in working with individuals that have experienced stressful or dangerous events such as child abuse, domestic violence, the loss of a parent, parents that have struggled with substance abuse or mental illness, or just multiple bad days strung together.
It can be hard to know where to start and almost impossible to start alone. I would love to help guide you through this process. I am only offering virtual therapy at this time. Please send me an email and I follow-up with a phone call to discuss how I may be able to help.
