Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, particularly when criticism, control, manipulation, gaslighting, or coercion have gradually become normalized within a relationship. I help clients make sense of what they have experienced, rebuild trust in their own perceptions, and understand the patterns that may continue affecting self-worth, boundaries, and relationships. Therapy provides space to process the impact of these experiences while developing greater autonomy, self-trust, and confidence in deciding what healthy relationships look like for you.

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience abuse, it creates patterns that make it hard to cope with new stressors in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how old wounds are interfering in the present. I am an experienced psychologist who can help you process the trauma with psychodynamic work and EMDR, so you can reduce the distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Emotional abuse is often a pattern that is repeated throughout life until the root cause memory is recovered and the inner child is able to release long-suppressed emotions and express them to the antagonist. This is done in the childhood regression in a safe and loving way. Once the inner child gets to express the unmet needs, the weight is lifted, the emotions are processed, and they no longer play on a loop. You are now free to move on and choose peaceful, liberating alternatives. Together we customize the hypnotic programming for this as well as any motivational work required. I empower you with a tool you can use every morning to go from dread to inspiration in only a few minutes and face the day with joy instead of fear. Ultimately, we signal to your nervous system that you are safe again; safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We reinforce emotional regulation and give you tools you can apply in minutes to regain emotinal equilibrium and return your body to homeostasis, should you feel triggered or overwhelmed.
