Domestic Abuse or Violence
Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced domestic abuse or violence, offering a safe, nonjudgmental space to process what you’ve been through at your own pace. Abuse can impact your sense of safety, trust, and connection to yourself, often in ways that are hard to put into words. Together, we focus on rebuilding a sense of stability, strengthening boundaries, and helping you reconnect with your voice and inner sense of control. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in both emotional and body-based work, supporting you in moving from survival toward a place of safety, strength, and empowerment.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
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.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
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. I am also familiar with legal settings (experience providing support in criminal and civil court as a victim advocate) and with emergency and transitional housing.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, coercive control, or the lasting psychological effects of unsafe or harmful relationships. Survivors of domestic violence often experience trauma responses such as anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, shame, fear, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from themselves and others.
Brad takes a holistic, trauma-focused approach to healing from domestic abuse, helping clients safely process their experiences and begin rebuilding a sense of stability, self-worth, and emotional safety. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace without judgment, pressure, or fear.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and restore a sense of control and grounding. Treatment focuses on supporting nervous system regulation, rebuilding self-trust, and helping clients move out of survival-based patterns into healthier, more empowered ways of living.
Healing from domestic abuse often involves more than talk therapy alone. When trauma is deeply embedded, it can affect emotional regulation, relationships, decision-making, and physical well-being. Brad’s approach focuses on addressing the root impact of trauma so clients can experience meaningful, lasting recovery rather than short-term coping.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, supporting each client’s unique needs, safety considerations, and healing goals. The process often includes strengthening boundaries, improving emotional resilience, rebuilding identity, and restoring the ability to feel safe in relationships again.
Healing and recovery are possible. With the right support, survivors of domestic abuse can move beyond the effects of trauma, reclaim their sense of self, and build a life grounded in safety, strength, and emotional freedom.
