What's this? Someone is angry! What's going on under this? It could be a Behavioral Addiction to anger; it could be a response to the fear and powerlessness created by early adverse childhood experiences; ands it could even be a defense against the loss of Self/Identity. How about we address those issues? My modality of choice is Image Transformation Therapy and the EMDR Feeling State focus model. I find this model creates actual behavioral and motivational change, not just curbing behavior and gutting it out. I back this up with EMDR trauma work and the Feeling State Addiction Protocol.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include domestic violence support, intimate partner violence, relationship trauma, safety planning, emotional recovery, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who have experienced domestic or intimate partner violence. Many clients come to therapy feeling unsafe, isolated, or uncertain about how to navigate relationships and protect themselves. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and empowering, helping clients process the impact of abuse, build emotional resilience, and develop practical strategies for safety and self-advocacy. Therapy is a confidential and supportive space to regain a sense of control, heal from trauma, and rebuild trust in yourself and your relationships.

My approach supports survivors and couples in navigating healing, safety planning, and the complex relational work that may follow experiences of intimate partner violence.

With experience working on both sides of the domestic violence spectrum—supporting survivors and facilitating accountability with perpetrators—I bring a deep understanding of the complex dynamics involved in abuse.

Whether you’re confronting your own harmful behaviors or recovering from a relationship marked by control, fear, or trauma, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to unpack the impact of abuse and rebuild a life marked by respect, self-awareness, and choice.

Springfield is the largest city in western Massachusetts and one of the state's most economically challenged communities, with high rates of poverty, significant post-industrial decline, and a large Puerto Rican population that makes it one of the most culturally distinct cities in New England. Spanish-language therapy is essential, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific experiences of Puerto Rican and broader Latino communities significantly shapes the local mental health landscape. Baystate Health operates behavioral health programs in the city, and several community mental health centers provide sliding-scale and publicly funded services for residents who cannot afford private therapy. Common therapy concerns include trauma, anxiety, depression, economic stress, and the complex intergenerational dynamics of a diaspora community that has been central to Springfield's identity for decades.
