Domestic Abuse
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I work with a lot of clients who are in or have left abusive situations and one of the most important things for the client to hear is that they weren't overreacting or misreading a situation. Treating domestic abuse and violence involves helping the client improve their self-esteem, self-confidence, self-worth, inner strength, and decision making skills.

Domestic Abuse
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.

Domestic Abuse
Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Too often abuse grows from a sense of "deserving" it - which is never true, a belief that you have no options - which is never true - but does require thoughtful and safe planning if you are choosing to extricate yourself from a relationship that has all the potential for getting worse - unless your abuser is able to take responsibility for his/her abusive behavior.
