Domestic Abuse
Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Partner abuse and abuse from a parent are forms of complex trauma, and they leave deep marks on the nervous system, identity, and sense of safety. I work with you to rebuild safety — both internally and externally — while helping you understand the complex parts of yourself that had to adapt in order to survive. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently untangle the fear, shame, confusion, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your life.

Our counseling services for survivors of domestic abuse or violence provide a compassionate, safe space to address the trauma and complex emotions arising from abusive relationships. Understanding that domestic abuse can take many forms—physical, emotional, sexual, financial—we offer tailored support to empower individuals as they navigate their journey of healing and reclaim their lives.
Empowering Survival and Healing from Domestic Abuse
* Trauma-Informed Care: Drawing from trauma-informed approaches, our counseling services prioritize safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment, acknowledging the profound impact of trauma on an individual's life and facilitating a path toward recovery.
* Safety Planning: We assist clients in developing comprehensive safety plans, whether they are preparing to leave an abusive situation, in the process of leaving, or have already left. This planning addresses immediate safety, legal protections, financial security, and long-term independence.
* Emotional Support: Our counseling provides a supportive environment to process emotions such as fear, guilt, shame, anger, and grief, while also working to rebuild self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of self-worth that has been eroded by abuse.
* Healing from Trauma: Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques, we assist clients in processing and healing from the trauma of abuse, anxiety, and depression.
* Rebuilding Life Skills: The path to recovery includes rebuilding life skills that may have been lost or diminished due to abuse. We support clients in gaining independence, making their own decisions, and establishing a healthy, self-determined life.

Domestic Abuse
Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
The dynamics of domestic abuse are predictable, whether it occurs in a family setting or with an intimate partner. But the experience of being in a domestic violence relationship FEELS very unpredictable and often terrifying. I work with clients to help them understand what's happening and to help them resolve the issues.
