Domestic Abuse or Violence
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals affected by domestic violence or intimate partner violence, I provide a safe and empathetic space for them to explore their experiences and emotions. Through therapy, we work together to address the impact of the abuse on their physical and emotional well-being, as well as their sense of safety and self-worth. I offer validation and support, helping survivors recognize that they are not alone and that the abuse is not their fault. Together, we develop safety plans and explore options for seeking support and resources, including shelters, legal assistance, and counseling services. Additionally, I help survivors process their trauma, rebuild their self-esteem, and establish boundaries in future relationships. My goal is to empower survivors to heal from the effects of domestic violence, regain control over their lives, and move forward with strength and resilience.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Domestic abuse and trauma freezes cortisol levels and creates hyper vigilance. Through meditation and evidence based therapies I can help you be calm and collected and one day get yourself back to the person you want to be. Personality disorders such as narcissism, borderline, and antisocial, often lead to domestic violence and emotional abuse. I help the patient to figure out and piece together what is going on in their lives, and help them make the best decisions for their own lives.
