Domestic Abuse or Violence
Chelsea Ellinger Center for Change
Counselor/Therapist, Social Worker
Although domestic violence and intimate partner violence are often used interchangeably, IPV specifically refers to abuse — physical, emotional or sexual — that occurs in a romantic relationship. Domestic violence, however, can be used more broadly to refer to any abuse that occurs between members of a household. Domestic violence social workers can be instrumental in helping those who have experienced domestic violence or IPV rebuild their lives. They can positively impact individuals and communities through interventions and services such as counseling and therapy, facilitating access to resources and support such as legal aid, and advocating for policy changes and social justice initiatives.

Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Whether violence and/or domestic abuse has happened/is happening to you or you witnessed it, it can severely affect you. There is a lot of misconceptions about these occurrences. This is trauma, no matter how you slice it! Sometimes people don't even recognize that they are in an unhealthy relationship or they don't view a specific situation or incident as abuse or violence has become the norm.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Living in or recovering from an abusive relationship can leave deep emotional scars — fear, shame, confusion, and the sense that you’ve lost your voice. Many of my clients grew up in families where love and harm were intertwined, making it harder to recognize red flags or believe they deserve better. In therapy, I offer a safe, steady space to process what’s happened, rebuild trust in yourself, and begin to heal from the manipulation and control. Over time, you can move from surviving to reclaiming your strength, your boundaries, and your life.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with survivors of domestic violence from a trauma-informed, non-blaming, and empowerment-focused perspective. Abuse can take many forms—emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, financial, or coercive control—and its impact often extends far beyond the relationship itself. In therapy, we move at your pace, centering safety, consent, and your right to make decisions about your own life.
Our work may include processing trauma, rebuilding a sense of self and agency, addressing shame or self-doubt, and strengthening boundaries and support systems. I am attentive to the complex realities survivors face, including ongoing contact with an abusive partner, systemic barriers, and the ways trauma can shape attachment and self-trust. Therapy is not about forcing timelines or “fixing” you—it’s about creating space for healing, resilience, and reconnection in ways that feel safe, grounded, and sustainable.
