Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S, NCC, ACS, BC-TMH, EMDRIA Certified, Qualified ART
Dr. Lucy Underwood and Associates are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which are both empirically supported treatments for PTSD. Victims of domestic abuse and violence experience life-long emotional distress unless measures are taken to change the internalized beliefs that result from abuse. We provide a safe and compassionate environment in which to heal from physical, emotional, verbal, and spiritual abuse.
Seeking a therapist can be a little scary. I'd love to speak with you on the phone to answer any questions you may have and to encourage you. My goal is to help you find direction and peace of mind, using your unique traits and talents.
I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you make your own positive life decisions. Through sharing ideas in a caring, respectful relationship, you are actively involved in decision-making throughout the therapy process. My role is to provide a supportive and trusting environment.
Abuse is a complicated issue within a family because it usually involves both love and inappropriate behaviors. Clients feel mixed emotions. I provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment in which you can work through your thoughts and feelings to make the best decisions for you.
Enter a space of healing where you're understood and supported. In my telehealth private practice, specializing in domestic abuse, I offer personalized guidance for survivors to reclaim their lives and rediscover their strength. Through compassionate counseling, together we'll navigate the journey towards empowerment and freedom from the grips of abuse.
I worked as a lead counselor on several Government grants providing counseling for victims of domestic abuse and violence. I collaborated with the local women's shelter in providing counseling for women who stayed at the shelter.
Is someone you love hurting you? Abuse can come in many forms, including physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, and spiritual. Often the victim falls prey to more than one--or even all.
Domestic abuse is something I have a real heart for, as my wife of over 20 years was a victim of horrendous abuse from her former husband. While I never acted as her hired counselor, I have helped her overcome the devastating results of her previous suffering. Results that took a tremendous toll on her well-being.
I can help you too.
