Our therapists here at CSP are trained in recognizing, understanding, and treating survivors of domestic abuse. Examples of treatment approaches we specialize in to help domestic violence survivors process and heal from past abusive relationships include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Person Centered Therapy (PCT), Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). Key aspects of our treatment for domestic violence survivors includes assisting our clients in overcoming their trauma through psycho-education, self-empowerment, and developing healthy and appropriate coping skills for emotional and behavioral regulation. We provide education on the cycle of violence, identifying warning signs of abusive partners, and recognizing how domestic abuse may have impacted and distorted their perception of self and others. Our ultimate goal for our clients who have endured domestic abuse involves finding self-empowerment, strength and stability to live the life they are seeking.

I have examined domestic violence and marital distress from a wider perspective that encapsulates not only interventions at the therapeutic level, but also broad-based interventions aimed at a revision that includes many contemporary multicultural issues. I believe that there are numerous risk factors that serve as perpetrators of aggression in couple relationships including: (a) relationship distress, (b) the escalation of negative behavioral couple communication, (c) maladaptive behavioral responses in conflict situations, (d) deficits in couple conflict resolution skills, (e) aberrant cognitive functioning leading to heightened risk factors and (f) negative multicultural influences based on embedded warped beliefs, values and cultural norms (Gurman et al., 2015).

Domestic abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
