Healing After Trauma Starts Here — Specialized Support for Women Recovering from Domestic Violence & Narcissistic Abuse

Hi, I’m Dr. Alicia Hawley-Bernardez, and I specialize in helping women reclaim their lives after trauma—especially those recovering from domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and emotionally toxic relationships. Whether you're healing from complex PTSD, navigating life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety and self-doubt, you don’t have to do it alone.

I offer a safe, affirming space for women to explore their experiences, reconnect with their inner voice, and build a future grounded in self-trust and strength. With a PhD focused on intimate partner violence, my work is deeply trauma-informed and rooted in a deep understanding of the psychological and emotional wounds caused by abuse.

I am EMDR-trained and offer EMDR intensives for clients ready to do deeper, focused healing work. My integrative approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic tools to support nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and boundary setting.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Texas, I provide virtual therapy statewide under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Vasquez, LCSW-S. My care is culturally attuned, LGBTQ+ affirming, and built on compassion, collaboration, and empowerment.

If you're ready to break free from the old narrative and start your healing journey, let’s connect. Book your free 15-minute consultation today to see if we’re the right fit.
