Domestic Abuse or Violence
Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
As a certified domestic violence counselor, I know how to identify and provide necessary care for those who are affected with DV/DA. Even if you are unsure or don't believe that you are in a domestic violence situation, it is useful to consult and receive an evaluation of a trained person. For those who are affected by DV, finding the right resources will be critical for the safety and wellbeing of the person and any children involved. I can guide in the right direction for both counseling and resources needs.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Domestic violence leaves marks that don't always show — in the way you flinch, the way you apologize, the way you've learned to make yourself small, the way you've forgotten what it felt like to feel safe. What happened to you was not your fault, and the ways you survived it made sense at the time.
Healing from abuse means more than leaving — it means untangling what it did to your sense of self, your relationships, your body, and your trust in the world. I work from a trauma-informed, shame-free perspective using EMDR, Flash Technique, and evidence-based approaches to help you understand what happened, grieve it, and find your way back to yourself.
You survived it. Now let's get you back.

Chula Vista is one of California's fastest-growing cities and sits directly north of the US-Mexico border, with a predominantly Hispanic population and a large community of residents who maintain close ties to Tijuana — making bilingual Spanish-English therapy not a specialty but a basic access requirement for much of the population. The city's location within the broader San Diego metro means residents have access to the full range of institutional mental health resources, including Scripps Health and Sharp HealthCare, while Chula Vista's own private therapy community has expanded significantly alongside its population growth. The city's significant Filipino community and growing South Asian population add further dimensions to the demand for culturally competent care. Military families connected to Naval Base San Diego also form part of the local therapy clientele given the city's proximity to base housing.
