Emotional Abuse
Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
When we are trapped inside toxic relationship cycles, we often come to a point where we feel like there is no way out—especially if we keep on recreating the same toxic patterns with the people around us. The first step to breaking free is to understand that you have the power to get out and save yourself from destructive patterns so you can live your life in the healthiest, most authentic way possible. It is never too late to ask for help, and my therapy approach involves giving you the guidance and support you need to identify these toxic relationships in your life so you can start building healthy, mindful connections. We will work together to discover how you can break the cycle, rework, and nurture your relationships by identifying the root cause of these unhealthy patterns. This could involve pinpointing traumatic childhood experiences like neglectful or abusive behaviors from emotionally immature or narcissistic parents and other authority figures in your life. Once you’ve recognized where these dysfunctional patterns come from, we will work toward getting rid of harmful belief systems like constant self-blaming or feeling as if you are a bad person, so you can begin to prioritize your well-being. We can then work on rebuilding your self-esteem, setting your emotional and mental boundaries, and learning how to better regulate your emotions. Breaking away from these patterns will eventually give you the peace of mind you need to finally start loving yourself so that you feel worthy of good treatment. That is the first step in creating and nurturing positive relationships while living a life that’s free from emotional pain and trauma-induced vicious cycles. - - - "There is no normal life that is free of pain. The very wrestling with our problems provides the impetus for growth." Fred Rogers

Emotional Abuse
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Emotional abuse is often a pattern that is repeated throughout life until the root cause memory is recovered and the inner child is able to release long-suppressed emotions and express them to the antagonist. This is done in the childhood regression in a safe and loving way. Once the inner child gets to express the unmet needs, the weight is lifted, the emotions are processed, and they no longer play on a loop. You are now free to move on and choose peaceful, liberating alternatives. Together we customize the hypnotic programming for this as well as any motivational work required. I empower you with a tool you can use every morning to go from dread to inspiration in only a few minutes and face the day with joy instead of fear. Ultimately, we signal to your nervous system that you are safe again; safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We reinforce emotional regulation and give you tools you can apply in minutes to regain emotinal equilibrium and return your body to homeostasis, should you feel triggered or overwhelmed.

Emotional Abuse
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Emotional abuse—especially narcissistic abuse—can be difficult to name, even when its impact is significant. It often involves patterns of manipulation, control, gaslighting, and invalidation that leave you questioning your reality, your memory, and your sense of self. Many people come out of these relationships feeling confused, drained, and unsure of what was “real.” Because it doesn’t always leave visible marks, it’s often minimized or misunderstood by others. Cultural and family dynamics can make this even harder to recognize or speak about, especially when there are pressures to maintain relationships or avoid conflict.
At Nour Counseling, we have clinicians who are highly specialized in working with emotional and narcissistic abuse. We provide clear, grounded psychoeducation to help you understand these patterns—what they are, how they function, and why they can be so disorienting. From there, we work actively with you to rebuild trust in your own perceptions, strengthen boundaries, and process the emotional impact of what you’ve experienced. We also support you in recognizing how these patterns may continue to show up in current relationships, so you can move forward with more clarity and self-trust. This work is about helping you feel more anchored in yourself and less defined by what you went through.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Emotional abuse is every bit as traumatic as physical abuse, and maybe more so. It results in triggers to chronic anxiety and depression and recovery requires processing of trauma. With the use of Energy Psychology, you can reliably process trauma without being re-traumatized.

Emotional Abuse
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My experience working with children, teens, and families in foster care gave me a strong foundation in understanding attachment, family dynamics, and the effects of relational trauma. This experience continues to inform my work with adults recovering from emotional abuse. Drawing on attachment, relational, and trauma-informed approaches alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients understand protective patterns, rebuild self-trust, and move beyond the self-doubt and questioning that often comes with these experiences.
