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.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients who have experienced emotional abuse will internalize abusive messages about themselves, resulting in low self-esteem and a reduced sense of self-worth. I work with clients to help identify the source of harmful beliefs they hold about themselves and to help foster and develop an alternative view of themselves that is affirming and empowering.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, yet its impact runs deep. Maybe you’ve been made to feel small, controlled, or constantly second-guess yourself. Perhaps you’ve been told that your feelings don’t matter, that you’re “too sensitive,” or that you’re the problem. Over time, this kind of treatment can erode your self-esteem, leave you feeling trapped, and make it hard to trust yourself or others. Even if the abuse is in the past, its effects can linger in the way you see yourself and navigate relationships.
Healing from emotional abuse is about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your experience, rebuild self-trust, and help you step out of survival mode into a life where you feel empowered and in control. You deserve to be heard, respected, and valued—not just by others, but by yourself. It’s possible to move forward, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Esra Nihan Bridge
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Long-term narcissistic abuse usually result in greater suffering, and it takes a long period of time for the victim to process. Upon enduring narcissistic abuse, the survivor usually struggles with a variety of lasting problems: depression, anxiety, trauma, self-blame, low self-esteem, a lost sense of self, restlessness, physical issues, trouble with decision making, and difficulty setting boundaries. Together, we will work through processing trauma, develop healthy relationship skills, and explore trauma-focused approaches such as Brainspotting—a therapeutic technique designed to access, process, and release trauma and emotional pain.

Emotional Abuse
Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
For many people who have lived with emotional abuse, a therapeutic relationship is the first safe relationship they have. It is understandable to build trust over time at a pace your nervous system dictates, and I feel honored to do this work and walk beside you on this journey.
Emotional abuse sometimes produces symptoms of PTSD. EMDR, which I am extensively trained in, and other therapies can significantly reduce these symptoms.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.

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.

Emotional Abuse
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
