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.

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.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services for those who have suffered atrocities that they didn't deserve. I've primarily provided services to female-identifying survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, but have some experience providing services to male-identifying survivors as well. I am also familiar with legal settings (experience providing support in criminal and civil court as a victim advocate) and with emergency and transitional housing.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
