Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize because it often shows up as subtle patterns—being dismissed, blamed, invalidated, or made to question your own reality. You may find yourself constantly explaining your intentions, doubting your memory, or feeling like nothing you do is ever quite right. Over time, this can lead to confusion, anxiety, and a loss of trust in your own instincts. In our work, we focus on clearly identifying these dynamics so you can name what’s happening, rebuild your sense of self, and begin to establish boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address emotional abuse with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the profound impact it has on an individual's well-being. Grounded in Christian principles, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore the emotional wounds caused by abuse. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, compassion, and the inherent worth of individuals, therapy sessions may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on forgiveness. I collaborate with clients to build resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and foster a sense of empowerment through their faith. While addressing the psychological aspects of emotional abuse, the counselor also guides individuals in seeking spiritual strength and relying on God's grace for healing. This integrated approach aims to support clients in breaking free from the cycle of abuse, restoring their self-worth, and promoting emotional well-being within the context of their Christian beliefs.

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 emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
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.

Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
When we are trapped inside toxic relationship cycles, we often come to a point where we feel like there is no way out—especially if we keep on recreating the same toxic patterns with the people around us. The first step to breaking free is to understand that you have the power to get out and save yourself from destructive patterns so you can live your life in the healthiest, most authentic way possible. It is never too late to ask for help, and my therapy approach involves giving you the guidance and support you need to identify these toxic relationships in your life so you can start building healthy, mindful connections. We will work together to discover how you can break the cycle, rework, and nurture your relationships by identifying the root cause of these unhealthy patterns. This could involve pinpointing traumatic childhood experiences like neglectful or abusive behaviors from emotionally immature or narcissistic parents and other authority figures in your life. Once you’ve recognized where these dysfunctional patterns come from, we will work toward getting rid of harmful belief systems like constant self-blaming or feeling as if you are a bad person, so you can begin to prioritize your well-being. We can then work on rebuilding your self-esteem, setting your emotional and mental boundaries, and learning how to better regulate your emotions. Breaking away from these patterns will eventually give you the peace of mind you need to finally start loving yourself so that you feel worthy of good treatment. That is the first step in creating and nurturing positive relationships while living a life that’s free from emotional pain and trauma-induced vicious cycles. - - - "There is no normal life that is free of pain. The very wrestling with our problems provides the impetus for growth." Fred Rogers
