Domestic Abuse therapists in Oakland Park, Florida FL

I am certified in Anger Resolution, which informs my work with violent couples and individuals.  

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.  

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.  

Victims of abuse carry with them emotional trauma that can be addressed and released on the subconscious level. 5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions.  

Domestic violence has devastating effects for the whole family. Insight Behavioral Center we provide you with a safe space to empower yourself to overcome the painful experience.  

As a licensed psychologist specializing in treating victims of domestic violence, I understand the profound and lasting impact that trauma of this nature can have on an individual's life. These experiences can become deeply ingrained in both the mind and body, affecting how you navigate relationships, approach parenting, and engage in daily living. The trauma from domestic abuse and domestic violence can erode self-esteem and result in a constant state of hypervigilance, leaving you feeling anxious and jumpy, as if you are constantly walking on eggshells. My approach to helping you heal from domestic abuse and domestic violence involves the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which has proven effective in treating trauma associated with such experiences. Through EMDR, we can work together to facilitate the recovery process, increase resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and enhance coping skills. My goal is to empower you to build the resilience needed to manage difficult a relationship, or find the strength to leave it, ultimately facilitating healing and fostering a path toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
