Domestic Abuse
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include domestic violence support, intimate partner violence, relationship trauma, safety planning, emotional recovery, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who have experienced domestic or intimate partner violence. Many clients come to therapy feeling unsafe, isolated, or uncertain about how to navigate relationships and protect themselves. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and empowering, helping clients process the impact of abuse, build emotional resilience, and develop practical strategies for safety and self-advocacy. Therapy is a confidential and supportive space to regain a sense of control, heal from trauma, and rebuild trust in yourself and your relationships.

Domestic Abuse
Faithful Connections Christian Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Experiencing domestic abuse or violence can leave lasting emotional, relational, and psychological wounds. At Faithful Connections Christian Counseling, we provide a compassionate, trauma-informed, and nonjudgmental space for individuals affected by domestic abuse, including emotional, verbal, psychological, physical, and controlling behaviors. Counseling focuses on helping clients process their experiences, rebuild self-worth, recognize unhealthy relationship patterns, establish healthy boundaries, develop coping skills, and regain a sense of safety, confidence, and personal control.
We recognize that leaving or changing an abusive situation can be complicated, and we meet each client where they are without judgment or pressure. Our goal is to support your healing while respecting your choices, circumstances, and individual pace. When appropriate, we can help clients identify supportive resources and develop strategies that promote safety and emotional well-being.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be incorporated into counseling through prayer, Scripture, and spiritual reflection, with an emphasis on dignity, hope, healing, and healthy relationships. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you do not have to face the journey toward healing alone.

Domestic Abuse
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I am passionate about helping men and women out of unsafe relationships and use hypnotherapy and related modalities to uncover unhealthy patterns and beliefs and reprogram in new safe and empowered ways of being that will return you to a sense of inner peace and security, along with the motivation to go on. As a child of abuse of all kinds, it is my dharmic path to help show you how to not only make peace with the past but to move forward empowered, and with tools to handle any and all bogeymen that show up proactively. I will empower you to channel all the rage, fear, dread, extreme sadness, guilt, shame, regret ... into healthy survivor energy. I show you how to get up in the morning and spend a few minutes reprogramming so you wake up joyous to start a new day and a new chapter again. The goal is to make you invincible, you are a peaceful warrior. Throughout the process, signals are sent to the unconscious that you are safe again. We reset your nervous system and work on emotional regulation.

Domestic Abuse
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.
