Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Undergoing abuse in relationships is shocking, unexpected, humiliating, and confusing. It typically happens in cycles that leaves the victim insecure in the relationship, fearful of when it might happen again, and unable to be authentically themselves out of fear of triggering the next cycle of violence. If you are in a situation like this, we can support you. When you are going through it, its hard to think clearly and be confidant in the decisions you are making and the boundaries you are setting. We understand this mental struggle and we are here to support you and help you stabilize yourself and your life.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Domestic abuse involves a pattern of controlling and coercive behaviors in intimate relationships. It can be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial. The trauma from such experiences can lead to a range of mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Hypnotherapy allows individuals to access and process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. By guiding clients into a relaxed state, hypnotherapists help them confront and release the emotional pain associated with their experiences.

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.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
In situations where someone is recovering from DV, there may need to be toggling between assessing first things first proactive steps to get out of or mitigate a dangerous situation. From there, the approach may be building practice with polyvagal and other stabilizing nervous system support. Then when there is more spaciousness deeper trauma work may be helpful. We've weaved with clients between these different needs organically, as the process is not always linear. We also support folks seeking ***safe*** peer group support as a helpful adjunct once they and their dependents, if any, are out of immediate danger.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
