Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You’ve done everything “right”: career, caregiving, parenting, success, but somewhere along the way, you disappeared. You may even be turning to Chat GPT to find the answers but it still feels lonely. If you’re a high-achieving woman silently struggling with burnout, emotional exhaustion, disordered eating, or the aftermath of a toxic or narcissistic relationship, I see you. Maybe you’re parenting while unraveling, caregiving for everyone but yourself, managing a career, and surviving a relationship that left deep psychological scars. You’ve held it together for so long that falling apart now feels like failure, but it’s not. It’s a sign you’ve been in survival mode too long.
I work with successful, high-functioning women who are secretly drowning. Women who’ve lived through emotional abuse, chronic gaslighting, trauma bonds, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. Women who developed eating disorders or disordered eating patterns because it was the only way to feel in control in a life that felt unsafe. These are not surface issues. This is trauma, grief, identity loss, and decades of putting everyone else first.
This is the space where we talk about the real stuff:
-Narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation, and covert domestic violence
-Burnout and breakdowns in midlife
-Parallel parenting and post-separation abuse
-Aging
-Menopause
-Imperfect Parenting
-Chronic perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, and depression
-Eating disorders, disordered eating, and control-based coping
-Grief, infertility, and adoption
-Chronic illness and the toll it takes on your mental health
I’m Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver, and I’ve spent 20 years helping women stop surviving and start living on their terms. Whether you're at a breaking point or trying to reclaim your identity one step at a time, you're not too late, too broken, or too far gone. You deserve support that honors your strength. Reach out today. I practice what I preach and it's my mission in this life to help women live their best life.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women may come to therapy for a host of issues, and at the root of many of these is the power differential present within families, relationships, school, and work. Finding your own sense of power in your life is key to advocating for yourself and supporting women. You can expect a cultural, societal, and religious understanding and a space to push back against these in conversation for the purpose of understanding how to navigate these systems - whether it be motherhood, infertility, or lack of interest in children; relieving yourself of the binds of working and career vs. family life, and more.
