Domestic Abuse
Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Whether emotional or physical, domestic abuse in a relationship traps both partners in an escalating spiral of misery. The abuser must locate the violence within him/herself; the victim must reclaim her rights, her space, her self, either within the relationship or apart from the abuser. If violence is present, the therapeutic work must be done separately for the safety of the victim/survivor.

Domestic Abuse
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Domestic Abuse
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with individuals who have experienced emotional, physical, or psychological abuse in relationships. Abuse often changes how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve, and it can be very difficult to leave or recover from these relationships. In therapy, we work on safety, boundaries, rebuilding self-trust, and understanding the patterns that keep people stuck in harmful relationship dynamics so that change becomes possible.

Domestic Abuse
Amy Merbaum Althoff
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA in Psychoanalysis
I'm a generalist mental health practitioner—which means I'm trained in multiple therapeutic approaches and work across a wide range of psychological and emotional issues rather than specializing in just one. I offer both short- and long-term therapy for people facing challenges like relationships, work stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, serious illness, and major life transitions. This flexibility allows me to meet you where you are, assess what's actually going on, and adapt my approach to what will serve you best. My practice is built to be inclusive and welcoming for people from all backgrounds and circumstances.

Online in Brooklyn, NY New York
Brooklyn is home to one of the most culturally and economically diverse therapy communities in the United States, with practices concentrated in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg serving an extraordinarily wide range of backgrounds and needs. The borough's large Caribbean, West African, Haitian, and Orthodox Jewish communities drive sustained demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. Brooklyn's rapid gentrification and rising rents have become significant mental health stressors, and therapists frequently address the grief of displacement experienced by long-term residents alongside the adjustment challenges of newer arrivals. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources for a borough of nearly three million people.
