Domestic Abuse or Violence
Ruth Ellerbusch
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDRII
Anger management is high brain functioning. Violence is instinct brain action. EMDR helps both be where you want them.
Trauma is often the root of acting out with violence, and EMDR is the solution for resolving trauma.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I am passionate about guiding individuals from a place of fear, confusion, and broken self-worth to a life of safety, autonomy, and empowerment.
Domestic violence isn’t just physical; it is a profound trauma that erodes identity, often causing long-term anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My focus is on providing a secure, non-judgmental space where survivors can break free from the trauma bond, understand the cycle of abuse, and rebuild their confidence.

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.

Cincinnati sits at the intersection of the Midwest and Appalachia, and therapists here frequently address addiction, economic stress, and intergenerational trauma rooted in the region's opioid crisis. The city has a strong Catholic and faith community, and many therapists offer spiritually sensitive approaches alongside evidence-based care. University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, complemented by a growing network of private practitioners across Hyde Park, Mount Lookout, and Oakley. Cincinnati's position as a bi-state metro also means therapists often serve clients from across the Kentucky border.
