Gabrielle Rocchino
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is flexible to meet the unique needs of each person and is grounded in the goal for you to feel deserving of connection, clarity and a fulfilled life. In my work with clients, we co-create a space where you feel supported in your navigation of challenges and stuck points, and celebrated for your wins and opportunities for pride. My practice centers on self-compassion and defining empowerment, which I believe to be valuable tools to help you identify your values and traverse concerns like trauma, invalidating interpersonal histories, challenging relationships, anxiety, self-worth, and depression.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Not all abuse leaves bruises. Some of it leaves you doubting your memory, apologizing for things you didn’t do, and walking on eggshells in your own home.
If you’re a high-functioning, capable woman who’s slowly crumbling inside—you may be experiencing domestic abuse and not even realize it. Emotional abuse, narcissistic manipulation, and coercive control are forms of domestic violence that are often overlooked because they’re invisible. You’re not being “too sensitive.” You’re surviving something that chips away at your sense of self, day by day.
You may be parenting with a narcissistic partner, navigating post-separation abuse, stuck in a trauma bond, or enduring parallel parenting chaos that never seems to end. Maybe you're the one doing the therapy, the reading, the work—while your partner gaslights, denies, blames, or plays the victim (DARVO). Maybe you’ve even tried couples counseling, only to leave feeling more confused and more alone because traditional therapy just didn’t name what’s really happening.
If you've been Googling:
Is emotional abuse domestic violence?
Signs of covert abuse in a relationship
Can therapy make emotional abuse worse?
Co-parenting with a narcissist
Post-separation abuse recovery
Burnout from domestic abuse
Divorcing a narcissist with kids
How to parallel parent after abuse
…then your body and brain already know something’s wrong—even if you haven’t said the word abuse out loud.
This is domestic abuse. And it’s not your fault.
I help high-achieving women who are navigating the invisible trauma of emotional abuse, narcissistic relationships, and toxic co-parenting dynamics. Whether you’re still in the relationship, planning your next steps, or trying to rebuild your identity after years of control—I’m here to walk with you. Not to label you. Not to rush you. But to validate what you’ve lived through, and help you heal deeply.
You don’t have to prove it to get support. You just have to stop surviving it alone.
