Thirty years dealing with abuse and codependency.
I help them discover their issues, help them see their own values and needs, and guide them in establishing realistic goals. Educating clients is a strong technique I use. You can't know what you don't know, and what you don't know can and will usually hurt you or someone else. Many clients don't know their issues nor the actions/decisions they make that are hurting them or that cause them to make bad choices. Most are missing vital information that they need. I try to learn their value system and provide information from reputable sources that fit them. They often believe that their wants are their needs.

During that time I have worked in many different treatment settings, including hospitals, outpatient therapy centers, and domestic violence shelters.
Entering into a counseling relationship can be a scary thing for many people. Some are hesitant about therapy based on past experience. Others are considering therapy for the very first time and really don't know what to expect. My approach to counseling begins with relaxed conversations aimed at establishing mutual trust and confidence. For my part, I pledge to be engaging, empathetic, culturally-sensitive, and client-centered, which includes a healthy amount of active listening. Moving forward, we will work together to identify strengths and skills and create a proactive strategy that is natural, realistic, and practical.

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.
