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.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
As a licensed psychologist specializing in treating victims of domestic violence, I understand the profound and lasting impact that trauma of this nature can have on an individual's life. These experiences can become deeply ingrained in both the mind and body, affecting how you navigate relationships, approach parenting, and engage in daily living. The trauma from domestic abuse and domestic violence can erode self-esteem and result in a constant state of hypervigilance, leaving you feeling anxious and jumpy, as if you are constantly walking on eggshells.
My approach to helping you heal from domestic abuse and domestic violence involves the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which has proven effective in treating trauma associated with such experiences. Through EMDR, we can work together to facilitate the recovery process, increase resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and enhance coping skills. My goal is to empower you to build the resilience needed to manage difficult a relationship, or find the strength to leave it, ultimately facilitating healing and fostering a path toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Living in or recovering from an abusive relationship can leave deep emotional scars — fear, shame, confusion, and the sense that you’ve lost your voice. Many of my clients grew up in families where love and harm were intertwined, making it harder to recognize red flags or believe they deserve better. In therapy, I offer a safe, steady space to process what’s happened, rebuild trust in yourself, and begin to heal from the manipulation and control. Over time, you can move from surviving to reclaiming your strength, your boundaries, and your life.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with survivors of domestic violence from a trauma-informed, non-blaming, and empowerment-focused perspective. Abuse can take many forms—emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, financial, or coercive control—and its impact often extends far beyond the relationship itself. In therapy, we move at your pace, centering safety, consent, and your right to make decisions about your own life.
Our work may include processing trauma, rebuilding a sense of self and agency, addressing shame or self-doubt, and strengthening boundaries and support systems. I am attentive to the complex realities survivors face, including ongoing contact with an abusive partner, systemic barriers, and the ways trauma can shape attachment and self-trust. Therapy is not about forcing timelines or “fixing” you—it’s about creating space for healing, resilience, and reconnection in ways that feel safe, grounded, and sustainable.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Domestic abuse and violence is deeply painful trauma. I offer crisis support if the abuse is happening presently and we can create a plan to get to safety for both you and any children if they are involved. If we are working after you have moved yourself to safety, we can work with the trauma that is still present. It is said that trauma is not what happened, but how are bodies are responding to what happened. We would likely take a trauma-focused approach to help you body and nervous system clear what is remaining from the abuse. We also want to tend to the grief and loss present from the abuse and the betrayal it is.
