I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from emotional abuse.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lingering wounds—confusion, self-doubt, anxiety, and a feeling of never being “enough.” Whether it came from a partner, family member, or past relationship, the impact often shows up long after the abuse has ended. You may find yourself questioning your reality, struggling with your self-worth, or feeling stuck in patterns you didn’t choose.
In therapy, we’ll work together to rebuild your sense of safety, autonomy, and trust in yourself. I help clients understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, recognize the subtle ways it affects thoughts and behavior, and develop boundaries that protect their peace. Our work is focused on healing, empowerment, and reconnecting you with the strengths that may have been overshadowed. You deserve relationships—and a life—where you feel respected, supported, and emotionally secure. I’m here to help you move toward that.

Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
When you grow up with a parent who frequently criticizes you or makes you question your own feelings, their voice can be hard to leave behind when childhood is over.
Now, one critical comment can stick with you for hours. You replay what was said and wonder whether they were right about you.
I use EMDR therapy to help adults work through experiences of emotional abuse from childhood so what happened has less power over how they feel about themselves today.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Emotional abuse can be overt or covert. Hypnotherapy, Heart Centered Breathwork, and Emotional Release work can get to the source of emotional abuse. Usually in a family dynamic where abuse and trauma are present, the obvious abuse from one of the caregivers is the first to do emotional release work on. The caregiver dishing out covert emotional abuse flies under the radar. They may be the one that does nothing to help the child for fear of what the other caregiver will do. That is just as damaging to the person but in a more subtle way. Emotional abuse also happens when one gets involved with a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath with gas lighting, ghosting, etc. Another specialty of mine is working with clients that are in relationship with a narcissist & sociopaths as the abuse is so unsettling and covert that the client thinks its their fault for being emotionally abused. My job is to help you pull back the curtain to the Wizard of Oz just to find the real person behind the curtain and realize you don't deserve such manipulative treatment.

Ashlyn Parks
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC., MT-BC.
It is crucial for me to make this clear - Emotional abuse is harmful. Experiencing this type of abuse can create internal disconnections and turmoil. As a therapist it is my job to, once we establish a space that feels safe, encourage you as you reconnect with yourself. Together we can identify how the impacts of the abuse impact you presently, and work with what arises.
