My dissertation was on integration of families during domestic violence intervention. I helped to initiate and direct a domestic violence intervention program in Eugene. Currently I work with couples and indivuals who are either victims or perpetrators of domestic violence or both. I also work with couples where there has been incidental domestic violence, but not cycles of violence.

Domestic abuse is a relational pattern of emotional and psychological harm in intimate relationships. It can leave behind deep wounds that most people don't see, although the impact of these experiences are evident in the painful memories, anxiety, depression, and self-loathing of the person who was harmed.

Kellie Supriano

I worked at the Gateway Center for Domestic Violence as a therapist for three years. This experience allowed me to develop the unique ability to be sensitive to the unique needs of survivors of intimate partner violence, something that I am very passionate about. I enjoy helping survivors find their inner strength, and to become empowered to make new choices.

Having left an abusive marriage, I understand the pain that domestic abuse can cause. Domestic abuse can be physically & psychologically damaging as well as traumatizing.

Amanda Roberson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Domestic abuse is the cruel or violent treatment carried out by one's romantic partner. The abuse can be characterized as psychological, emotional, verbal, sexual, or physical. Abuse by one's partner typically starts with efforts to maintain power and control through manipulation, blame, minimization of one's feelings, and lying. It may amplify to more overt acts of violence over time.
