Emotional Abuse Therapy
Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC-S, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you struggling with the lasting effects of emotional abuse, including narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, trauma bonding, and generational trauma? As a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals heal from these deeply impactful experiences. Emotional abuse can be especially challenging as it's often unseen and difficult for others to validate. If you are in a relationship with a narcissist, you are likely suffering from narcissistic abuse. Gaslighting and other forms of manipulation likely have you questioning your reality.
You don't have to do this alone. Even if you are just in the initial stages of realizing the abuse, it can help to process this with a licensed psychologist who will validate what you are going through. You don't have to do this alone. There is hope. Please reach out today.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.
