Domestic Abuse
DR Mindy Jacobs
Psychologist, PhD -licensed psychologist, ABPP-Board Certified in Counseling Psychology
I work with patients to help them bring together their thoughts and emotions. I start with accepting them for who they are and helping people live out their potential. I explore the person's history as well as prenent influences. I also utilize the therapy relationship as a microcosm their life.

Domestic Abuse
Sabina Mauro
Psychologist, PsyD
Domestic violence can affect far more than a person's immediate sense of safety. Whether the abuse was physical, emotional, psychological, or controlling, its effects may continue to influence how you view yourself, make decisions, and navigate relationships long after the experience has ended. My approach focuses on helping survivors understand trauma-related responses, including hypervigilance, self-doubt, guilt, and difficulty trusting others or themselves. Through individualized, trauma-informed treatment, we explore the connection between past experiences and present-day challenges while working to restore confidence, strengthen boundaries, and rebuild a sense of emotional safety. Healing does not follow a straight path, and it does not require you to have all the answers. Together, we work toward helping you reclaim your voice, your choices, and your sense of self.

Domestic Abuse
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Domestic abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Domestic Abuse
Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Too often abuse grows from a sense of "deserving" it - which is never true, a belief that you have no options - which is never true - but does require thoughtful and safe planning if you are choosing to extricate yourself from a relationship that has all the potential for getting worse - unless your abuser is able to take responsibility for his/her abusive behavior.
