Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years, I have offered counseling for individuals, as well as for couples, groups and parents who have suffered from domestic abuse or violence. I also have worked actively with the
Washington, DC Rape Crisis Center and provided the original training for them. For many years, I have also worked with the Washington, DC Department of Crime Victims. I have specialized in helping people who have been victimized by crime, have been a pioneer in the field of women, rape and violence and has been quoted in numerous articles and books on these subjects. I testified at the rape council hearings in the 1970's and have been featured in a prime time TV series on rape.
In addition, I worked extensively with the DC Women’s Center, and have trained counselors for the DC Rape Crisis Center. I have also written an article for Victimology Magazine in the late 1970's. In addition, I was the Chair of the National Institute against Prejudice and Violence in Baltimore,
Maryland for many years. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
In my therapeutic approach to treating domestic abuse or violence, I integrate various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), compassion focus therapy, and relational therapy to address underlying trauma and promote healing. Through art therapy and narrative therapy techniques, I provide clients with alternative ways to express their experiences and process their emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Additionally, I incorporate family systems therapy to explore dynamics within the family unit and facilitate communication and understanding, aiming to empower individuals affected by domestic abuse to create healthier relationships and break the cycle of violence.

Leo Massey
Therapist, LMSW
For individuals who have experienced domestic abuse or violence, validation is a key component of treatment. I prioritize meeting clients where they are and focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, which is crucial for successful treatment, especially for those who have endured consistently invalidating environments. Together, we determine the most effective approach, whether it's Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), DBT with Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), Exposure Therapy, or a combination of interventions. I look forward to working with you to achieve your therapeutic goals!

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
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, and psychological—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 and Psychological 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, reducing symptoms of PTSD, 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.

* Enhance Coping Strategies: Equip clients with effective coping strategies for managing stress, triggers, and the challenges of rebuilding their lives after 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.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
As a licensed psychologist specializing in treating victims of domestic violence, I understand the profound and lasting impact that trauma of this nature can have on an individual's life. These experiences can become deeply ingrained in both the mind and body, affecting how you navigate relationships, approach parenting, and engage in daily living. The trauma from domestic abuse and domestic violence can erode self-esteem and result in a constant state of hypervigilance, leaving you feeling anxious and jumpy, as if you are constantly walking on eggshells.
My approach to helping you heal from domestic abuse and domestic violence involves the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which has proven effective in treating trauma associated with such experiences. Through EMDR, we can work together to facilitate the recovery process, increase resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and enhance coping skills. My goal is to empower you to build the resilience needed to manage difficult a relationship, or find the strength to leave it, ultimately facilitating healing and fostering a path toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
