Domestic Abuse
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Experiencing domestic abuse or violence can leave you feeling afraid, isolated, confused, or disconnected from your own strength. Abuse is never your fault, and you deserve support that respects your safety, dignity, choices, and personal circumstances.
I provide trauma-informed, nonjudgmental therapy to help survivors process their experiences, rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and regain a sense of control. Treatment is paced carefully and may include emotional stabilization, personalized safety planning, and connection with appropriate community resources. Healing is not about forgetting what happened—it is about reclaiming your voice, autonomy, and future.

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.
