Domestic Abuse
Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Psychological, sexual, physical and emotional abuse as well as betrayal trauma, coercive control and neglect are often not given the weight they deserve. DV can be both overt and subtle, deeply damaging, often leaving invisible scars that affect your self-worth and relationships. Coercive control and abuse can cut the sense of yourself, your self-esteem, and your self-worth. The impact of this is significant, often limiting career opportunities, relationships with self and others, and emotional experiences. If you have survived abuse and/or neglect, it is possible to finally heal these wounds and find yourself again. I will help you untangle the complexities of your experiences, develop healthy boundaries, and restore self-esteem.

Healing from abuse is a vital journey of reclaiming your life, your safety, and your inherent worth. We will gently and effectively process the trauma and reduce its current impact, so you can move beyond survival and toward thriving, regardless of your present circumstances. Our focus will be on re-establishing self-trust and unburdening the emotional wounds that were never yours to carry. I'll support you in finding deep inner strength and a sense of safety both inside and in your connection to the world around you.

Domestic Abuse
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with domestic abuse and violence is focused on helping survivors heal from past trauma and begin to thrive in their new lives. I have extensive training in trauma work from an attachment-based (AEDP) and trauma-informed (polyvagal theory) foundation. EMDR is often a component of this work with my clients, as is overall learning of coping skills for nervous system regulation.

Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
