Domestic Abuse
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
If you've experienced domestic abuse or violence, you may find yourself constantly second-guessing yourself, struggling to trust your instincts, feeling anxious in relationships, walking on eggshells, or questioning your own worth. Even after the relationship ends, the effects can remain, impacting your sense of safety, confidence, emotional well-being, and ability to trust others.
Healing often involves more than simply leaving an unhealthy situation. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process what you've been through, understand the impact of trauma, rebuild confidence, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with your sense of self. Together, we can work toward helping you feel safer, more empowered, and more secure in yourself and your relationships.

Domestic Abuse
Provia Psychology
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, APCC
What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency? The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves--the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty.

Domestic Abuse
Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Leaving an abusive or violent relationship takes tremendous courage. Even after the relationship has ended, the effects of ongoing fear, control, and harm can remain—showing up as hypervigilance, shame, confusion, numbness, or difficulty trusting yourself or others.
From a trauma-informed perspective, these responses make sense. In therapy, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, choice, and agency while gently addressing the impact of chronic trauma on the nervous system. Healing is not about forcing yourself to “move on,” but about supporting your system in releasing what it has carried in order to survive.
Using approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we work at a pace that honors your readiness and autonomy. With time and support, it is possible to reconnect with your inner strength, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with greater freedom and clarity.
