Domestic Abuse or Violence
Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
I provide trauma-informed, affirming support to survivors of domestic violence and interpersonal abuse. Whether you're currently in an unsafe relationship or healing from past harm, I will meet you with compassion. I understand that abuse is never your fault—and that leaving or making sense of an abusive dynamic can be incredibly complex.
My approach is rooted in empowerment, safety, and autonomy. I work collaboratively to help you rebuild trust in yourself, identify your needs and boundaries, and process the emotional impact of trauma at your own pace. I recognize the ways systems of oppression—such as racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and economic injustice—can compound experiences of abuse, and I hold these truths in the therapy space.
You deserve support, safety, and healing. Together, we’ll create a space where your story is honored and your choices are respected

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.
