Becky Short Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC/MHSP, NCC
If you are currently experiencing emotional abuse, or are a survivor of emotional abuse, you may feel deeply lonely, confused, and invalidated. Emotional abuse can be debilitating and difficult to explain to others, especially because there are no visible scars. Many people find it hard to put their experience into words or feel misunderstood by friends and family.
I want you to know that I see you, I believe you, and I recognize your pain. You are not alone. I am here to support you as you work toward healing, safety, and reclaiming your sense of self away from abuse.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Experiencing emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds that aren’t always visible—but they are real and valid. In therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to untangle the effects of gaslighting, control, and chronic invalidation. Together, we’ll focus on restoring your sense of self, establishing healthy boundaries, and rebuilding confidence using trauma-informed techniques and self-empowerment practices. You deserve to feel safe, respected, and whole again.

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.

Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
