Domestic Abuse
Eve Palmatier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Interpersonal Violence is a difficult issue to navigate. Abuse is often a multigenerational pattern; where people learn young that being belittled, controlled, and threatened are acceptable and normal. Relationships are complicated, pain and fear are often alongside love and affection. Add living in a world with an ever increasing cost of living and unstable housing, and a person can find themselves in a precarious situation fast. I've worked with people who realize they are being mistreated, and want support in building healthier relationships and creating a more loving and stable life for themselves. I've also supported those who've realized they are repeating the cycle, and want to learn how to build a healthy relationship without being violent and controlling towards those they love. Its a process of both recognizing what sort of treatment is unacceptable, and learning about what healthy and safe relationships look like. I try to be a nonjudgemental and safe space for those who are working through these realizations.

I provide virtual services for those who have suffered atrocities that they didn't deserve. I've primarily provided services to female-identifying survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, but have some experience providing services to male-identifying survivors as well.

Domestic Abuse
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.
