Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Victims or perpetrators of domestic abuse/violence are stuck in an abusive dynamic which most likely began before this relationship (in the case of adults) and will determine future relationships (in the case of kids). I work with recognizing this dynamic and uncovering deeper wounds.

Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Partner abuse and abuse from a parent are forms of complex trauma, and they leave deep marks on the nervous system, identity, and sense of safety. I work with you to rebuild safety — both internally and externally — while helping you understand the complex parts of yourself that had to adapt in order to survive. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently untangle the fear, shame, confusion, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your life.

Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Many of my clients may be in a physically safe place now, but are still dealing with the effects of previous abusive relationships or violent experiences from their past. Sometimes, it is not until we are out of the unsafe environment that our brain and body will break down and allow us to deal with the emotions and aftermath of what we have been through. For others, life seems to be one long survival mode. I can help you build internal coping supports and then deal with the experiences that have caused you so much pain and suffering.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Healing from domestic violence is not about forgetting the past — it’s about reclaiming your power, your peace, and your purpose. You are not defined by what was done to you but by the strength it takes to rise again. Through truth, forgiveness, and love, you can rebuild your confidence and rediscover your worth. God has not abandoned you — He is rewriting your story with grace and redemption. Freedom begins the moment you believe you are worthy of it. You are not a victim; you are a survivor becoming victorious. Your healing begins today.

She offers support in understanding the dynamics of abuse, recognizing patterns, and beginning to rebuild a sense of safety and stability.

Violence and abuse should never happen, but when they do, therapy can be a valuable tool in healing. I began my career at a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter, and am trained in evidence based trauma modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to best address the needs of those impacted by violence.

RGV Cross Over Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, M. Ed., LPC (AL), LPC (TX)
Domestic abuse and violence have many forms, such as emotional, psychological, financial, and physical. A destructive, abusive environment does not get better, as it has a vicious cycle of the honeymoon stage, tensions mounting, and repeated abuse. If this destructive pattern is not broken, it might lead to death, as according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the percentage of deaths from domestic abuse and violence is 1 in 5. If you are in an abusive and violent relationship, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or if you need immediate help, call 911.

Online in Houston, TX
Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
