Domestic Abuse
Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Abuse—whether emotional, physical, sexual, or psychological—can fracture our relationship with safety, trust, and even our own instincts. Survivors often carry a deep, quiet knowing that something is wrong, paired with an equally strong impulse to minimize or hide it. In this space, there is no need to explain away your pain.
I work with survivors to gently untangle trauma from identity — honoring the coping strategies that helped you survive while making room for something new. Our work isn’t about re-living the past, but about understanding how it still lives in your body, your relationships, and your nervous system.
Together, we build safety from the inside out. We go at your pace. And slowly, over time, you begin to feel what it’s like to be seen without fear, to set boundaries without shame, and to live without apologizing for the space you take up.

Domestic Abuse
Aryn Ziehnert
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Abuse distorts your sense of reality and self-worth, but you do not have to carry the weight of self-blame alone. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help survivors untangle complex emotional bonds, soothe a overwhelmed nervous system, reclaim their inner voice, and step safely into freedom and healing.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I offer specialized treatment for the long-term effects of interpersonal violence and abuse. Whether you are navigating the aftermath of recent harm or the 'delayed' trauma of childhood experiences, my approach is designed to restore your agency. I utilize Dr.-level clinical insight and EMDR to alleviate the debilitating symptoms of PTSD, including nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and emotional numbness. Healing from violence is possible, and you do not have to navigate the path to recovery alone.

Domestic Abuse
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.
