Domestic Abuse
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.

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
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.
