Over the last few years, I have had the honor to work with first responders, prior military, and their families to manage and heal from the disabling effects of trauma. This work expanded my career into the spaces of addiction, men’s issues, sexual trauma, grief and loss, and shame to name a few. Though this work I found a passion for working with relationships in trouble.

It is easy to admire the strength it takes to climb the mountain, but few people see or value the strength it takes to climb out of the abyss, and back to level ground. This is often true, even for those who are escaping the deepest of pits. It is vital, then, that people learn to celebrate every step of progress they make. This is what creates hope, which is the prerequisite for change. We are built for growth, and our ability to change and to heal is staggering when we understand exactly what our brain, body, and heart are capable of.

Hello and welcome. Taking the first step to look for a therapist takes courage — and it’s an important part of the healing process. Are you in the middle of a transition? Maybe you’re starting or ending a relationship, adjusting to a new job, or simply noticing changes within yourself. Transitions can be exciting, challenging, and even overwhelming all at once. It’s normal to feel uncertain, and you don’t have to navigate these moments alone.

I help women navigating the complexities of family issues, specifically around grief and loss, estrangement, divorce. These challenges can cause identity crises, financial issues, increased stress, strained family relationships, which can show up in several ways. It can become easy to isolate yourself, have difficulty concentrating at work or school, increase guilt and self blame and just feel stuck in life. My clients tend to want to understand what's happening, but also want to know there is a way out...which there always is! and It's usually easier than you think, sometimes we just have to get out of our own way.

Hi, I am Macquenie Palmer-Beckford. If you’ve been feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep, constantly overthinking every little thing, or struggling just to get through the day, you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been feeling on edge, shut down, or stuck in a fog that you can’t seem to shake. You keep showing up, holding it together for everyone else but inside, you’re running on empty. Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, “I don’t even feel like myself anymore.” The things that used to make you happy don’t hit the same. You want to get back to feeling “normal,” but you don’t even know where to start.

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.
