Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
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.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
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).
