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.

We understand this mental struggle and we are here to support you and help you stabilize yourself and your life.

Domestic Abuse
Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Leaving an abusive or violent relationship takes tremendous courage. Even after the relationship has ended, the effects of ongoing fear, control, and harm can remain—showing up as hypervigilance, shame, confusion, numbness, or difficulty trusting yourself or others.
From a trauma-informed perspective, these responses make sense. In therapy, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, choice, and agency while gently addressing the impact of chronic trauma on the nervous system. Healing is not about forcing yourself to “move on,” but about supporting your system in releasing what it has carried in order to survive.
Using approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we work at a pace that honors your readiness and autonomy. With time and support, it is possible to reconnect with your inner strength, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with greater freedom and clarity.
