Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Most people living with domestic violence or home family violence may not even realize they have it. When you’ve been living with something for a very long time it becomes almost normal. It’s important for you to be able to work with someone and pick through the pieces of your life that you want to cherish and keep while at the same time living a life full of peace and contentment.

Dr. Le’ Isaac Gardner Msc.D. CTHT ORDM
Hypnotherapist, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, MSc.D. Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist CTHT
Helping clients through domestic abuse and traumatic and violent times is one of my main focuses. It is important to get a hold on anger before it starts to manifest physically in your life, whether it is creating sickness in your body, or causing you to lash out. Hypnotherapy is the perfect tool to quell the anger, clear the cause, and release the effects of the abuse.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, coercive control, or the lasting psychological effects of unsafe or harmful relationships. Survivors of domestic violence often experience trauma responses such as anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, shame, fear, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from themselves and others.
Brad takes a holistic, trauma-focused approach to healing from domestic abuse, helping clients safely process their experiences and begin rebuilding a sense of stability, self-worth, and emotional safety. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace without judgment, pressure, or fear.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and restore a sense of control and grounding. Treatment focuses on supporting nervous system regulation, rebuilding self-trust, and helping clients move out of survival-based patterns into healthier, more empowered ways of living.
Healing from domestic abuse often involves more than talk therapy alone. When trauma is deeply embedded, it can affect emotional regulation, relationships, decision-making, and physical well-being. Brad’s approach focuses on addressing the root impact of trauma so clients can experience meaningful, lasting recovery rather than short-term coping.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, supporting each client’s unique needs, safety considerations, and healing goals. The process often includes strengthening boundaries, improving emotional resilience, rebuilding identity, and restoring the ability to feel safe in relationships again.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, survivors of domestic abuse can move beyond the effects of trauma, reclaim their sense of self, and build a life grounded in safety, strength, and emotional freedom.
