Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Whether domestic violence is something you witnessed, experienced in the past, or are currently living through, it plays a major role in your everyday life. From how you socialize with friends and family, your career or education, your internal view of yourself and your self worth, your inner world begins to revolve around navigating this extremely emotional, complicated, and scary situation. Having an "outsider", someone who is not connected to you or your family, can often times feel safer to process this with.

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.
