Domestic Abuse Therapists in Chandler, AZ
Individual, LGBTQ, Grief, Substance Abuse, PTSD, General Counseling.
My name is Kris Godinez, LPC. Counseling is a journey a journey that can and frankly should have a healthy dose of humor in it! If you are looking for one of those "blank screen" counselors that do and say. nothing, I'm not that kind of counselor. Yes counseling is serious business, but it does not have to be dull. I find that when people are laughing and learning they tend to retain what they have learned. I use CBT and a lot of humor! I also tend to swear like a sailor so if that is a problem, let me know and I will try not to drop the F bomb so much!

My approach is deeply person-centered, focusing on building resilience and empowering individuals on their ever evolving journey of self discovery to navigate life’s challenges. My background is rooted in community based services, and for the last four years I have worked with survivors of domestic abuse, individuals in crisis and children ages 3+ in various settings. I am a proud feminist and my work is centered around the recognition and subsequent destructing of the harsh systemic realities we find ourselves in. I am here to be your staunch advocate, encourager, and counsel. Together we will learn, unlearn, and grow as necessary.

I am EMDR trained and have significant experience working with clients with history of abuse, neglect, and other traumatic events.
Have you tried therapy before, but found it draining or less than helpful? Many individuals engage in therapy only to address symptoms, without addressing their root cause. My primary objective is to create a safe place for clients to explore their past and present in order to move into their future with confidence. My authentic nature and strengths-based approach help me build rapport and find buy-in with clients who have difficulty opening up, as well as with those who struggle to see themselves making positive changes in their lives.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, difficulty related to past or current trauma/ abuse, loneliness, exploration of gender identity/sexual orientation, grief/loss, challenges with life transition, or any other concern that is creating distress, we can collaboratively explore where change is possible and work to alleviate distress.
Seeking therapy is courageous and vulnerable and choosing a therapist can be challenging. A trusting and connected relationship with a therapist where you can bring your full self without experiencing judgement is essential for change, since our distress is often related to disconnection from others or ourselves. Therefore, my primary focus is on building an accepting and safe therapeutic relationship while also appreciating your individual needs and remaining flexible in our work together. From this relationship, we will be able to identify factors preventing change and help you work toward living a meaningful life consistent with your values and goals.

Having fallen prey to a narcissist myself, it is my passion to educate others on identifying this crippling, yet often insidious form of emotional abuse.
Are you in a toxic relationship? Do you often feel confused, depleted, desperate to find solutions to make things better and get back to the good that existed in the beginning - but nothing you do seems to make a difference? Are your partner's words and actions often misaligned? Is infidelity present or suspected? If so, you may be in a relationship with a narcissist. The sooner you can identify this and get educated on what this entails, the sooner you can regain your strength and sanity. Enduring Narcissistic Abuse can lead to the debilitating and little known condition called Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS).

I am a certified EMDR therapist with a focus on medical trauma and history of abuse and trauma.
I believe that "mental wellness" is a holistic perspective that includes mind, body, and spirit, when a person can feel satisfaction and enjoy life regardless of their current situation. Through psychotherapy I support the process of exploration, growth, and change so that a person can use their strengths and resources to challenge life situations or challenges. I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and view therapy as a collaboration where the client is actively engaged in the process in healing and becoming whole. I believe that internal change engenders external change.

Trying to connect with my partner but no matter how hard I try, I can't. What is this wall between us? I walk into the room the phone screen is swiped and computer screen closed. My mind fights “Is it my imagination? Am I too sensitive?”. Then, the uncomfortable heavy feeling takes over and I feel blind-sighted. Betrayal. Lies. The world seems to spin. The ground falls out from under me. No longer in control of emotions. Life is a raging storm. I react intensely, instead of responding. Overcome by a short temper, crying, screaming, or feeling completely numb. Chaos has become the new norm and I feel lost. How do I face this storm?

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
