Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Experiences of domestic abuse or violence don’t end when the relationship ends. Many people are left sorting through what happened long after the situation is over—making sense of confusion, rebuilding trust in themselves, and untangling patterns that may still show up in current relationships. It’s common to question your own experience, minimize what you went through, or feel the lingering impact in your nervous system, boundaries, and sense of safety. Cultural, familial, and community dynamics can add another layer, especially when there were pressures to stay, remain silent, or reinterpret what happened.
At Nour Counseling, we support individuals who are processing past abuse with care, clarity, and respect for your pace. We help you name and understand the patterns you experienced, reconnect with your sense of self, and work through the emotional and relational impact that may still be present. This can include rebuilding boundaries, addressing trauma responses, and shifting how you relate to yourself and others moving forward. We also make space for the cultural and systemic factors that shaped your experience, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is about helping you feel more grounded, more clear, and more able to move forward in a way that feels safe and aligned.

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.

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.
