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
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.

Online in El Cajon, CA
El Cajon is a San Diego County city home to one of the largest concentrations of Iraqi Christians (Chaldeans) outside Iraq and one of the most significant Somali and East African refugee communities in California, as well as substantial communities from across the Middle East, making it one of the most culturally distinctive cities in Southern California and creating specific demands for culturally and linguistically competent mental health services. The trauma of displacement, war, and refugee journeys is a central concern in the local mental health landscape, and finding therapists who speak Chaldean Neo-Aramaic, Arabic, or Somali and understand the cultural and religious dimensions of these communities' mental health experiences is essential but consistently challenging. San Diego County Behavioral Health provides public services, and community organizations serve immigrant and refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include refugee trauma and PTSD, acculturative stress, religious and cultural identity in diaspora, family and intergenerational conflict between refugee parents and American-raised children, and the grief of displacement and community loss.
