Domestic Abuse therapists in North Port, Florida FL
Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Whether violence and/or domestic abuse has happened/is happening to you or you witnessed it, it can severely affect you. There is a lot of misconceptions about these occurrences. This is trauma, no matter how you slice it! Sometimes people don't even recognize that they are in an unhealthy relationship or they don't view a specific situation or incident as abuse or violence has become the norm.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Domestic abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
