Emotional Abuse
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse is the hardest kind to recover from, partly because it leaves no visible marks and partly because years of gaslighting have likely convinced you that you're exaggerating, too sensitive, or the real problem in the relationship. Emotional abuse includes gaslighting, manipulation, coercive control, isolation, emotional neglect, intimidation, and the systematic erosion of your self-worth over time. As a licensed psychologist specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery for mothers, I work with women to first name what happened to them accurately — because many don't — and then to heal the specific damage that emotional and psychological abuse creates: the chronic self-doubt, the hypervigilance, the trauma bonding, the loss of identity. This is not general relationship counseling. I have 30 years of clinical experience working specifically with the dynamics of emotional abuse, coercive control, and psychological manipulation, and I understand how these patterns operate, how they escalate after separation, and what it actually takes to heal from them.

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.

I help clients process the impact of emotional abuse, including criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, control, invalidation, and patterns that have caused them to question themselves or lose confidence. In therapy, we work on understanding what happened, rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries, and reducing the guilt, shame, anxiety, or confusion that can follow emotionally harmful relationships. My goal is to help clients feel clearer, more grounded, and more confident in their ability to protect their well-being.
