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
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.
