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.

If you’ve experienced patterns of being dismissed, controlled, or made to question yourself, it can leave a lasting impact. In therapy, we move at your pace to understand these experiences and how they continue to affect your self-esteem and relationships. Together, we focus on rebuilding self-trust and learning how to have happy, healthy relationships.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced emotional abuse (and/or other types of abuse) in their relationships. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the trauma they have been experiencing and help navigate the paths they would like to take to move forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse is insidious precisely because it leaves no visible marks. It makes you question your memory, your perception, your worth. It's designed to. At Simple Empathy we work with survivors of emotional abuse to rebuild trust in their own reality — what they felt, what they saw, what they knew. Using Narrative Therapy and IFS we'll untangle what was done to you from who you actually are, and help you build a self that doesn't need external validation to feel real. Direct, honest and unflinching work for people who are done doubting themselves.
