Domestic Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
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.

Domestic Abuse
Dr. Bridget Williams
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Love does not hurt. A simple statement for a complex issue. I began my clinical career working with individuals who experienced and survived DV or IPV. It can be challenging to even label your relationships as abuse due to the ways your abuser has conditioned you to think or perceive the fights. You may believe if you did or didn't do something, it wouldn't have happened. Together we can explore ways to get your safe, decide how you want to proceed in your relationship, and rebuild the parts of you that have be damaged or wounded by the abuse.

Domestic Abuse
Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Verbal abuse
Mental abuse
Emotional abuse
Physical abuse
Sexual abuse
Experiences of verbal, mental, emotional, physical or sexual abuse create pain and require attention, understanding and healing. Moving through the pain caused by such experiences is possible rather than merely coping or burying emotions like hurt, anger and resentment.
Pain is the evidence of an injury. The wounds created by injuries come from the presence of “bad things” in one’s life. Injury and wounds also come from the absence of “good things” like nurturing, encouragement, having basic needs met, etc.
God never meant for us to carry pain and trauma from our past. While healing needs to occur from past wounds, it is also important to find new awareness, insights and learn new ways to guard our hearts and mind in the present and future.
While there may be a remembrance of situations and circumstances we’ve experienced, there can be a present peace in our hearts and minds regarding our past.

Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
