Emotional Abuse can have a lasting impact on your self esteem, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system. Your reality may become distorted if you've internalized the abuse as your own failings.

Emotional abuse, often silent and insidious, can leave deep psychological scars that persist long after the overt acts have ceased. It can manifest in various ways: constant criticism, manipulation, humiliation, and invalidation, to name a few. At Relevant Connections, we understand the profound impact such abuse can have on one's self-esteem, trust, and overall mental well-being. Our therapeutic approach aims to provide a safe space for survivors to acknowledge their experiences, process the associated emotions, and rebuild a sense of self-worth. We also equip our clients with tools and strategies to recognize abusive patterns, set boundaries, and reclaim their autonomy. Healing from emotional abuse is a journey, and we're here to guide and support you every step of the way.  

Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity. Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.  

Dr. Lucy Underwood and Associates work with youth, adults, and elders who are the victims of emotional abuse through the use of CBT, Family Systems Therapy, EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.  

Offering help, hope, and healing to abuse victims is my passion and area of specialization. My focus in Ph.D. is emotional and psychological abuse. I know it can be scary to enter into individual counseling. My approach is to offer you a safe space to talk openly about your hurts, your pains, your secrets, and the life goals that you’re afraid to dream about. I encourage you to love yourself and to take care of you. As my client, you’re no longer alone.  

Were you criticized heavily as a child? Did you feel worthless growing up? Or have you been in a relationship where you were gas lighted and treated poorly. Emotional abuse is often a silent form of trauma that most don't recognize until they are much older. However, it can lead to low self-esteem, perfectionism, struggles in relationships later in life, and even PTSD. With many years of experiences working with abuse survivors, I strive to create a safe environment for them to process their traumatic past and learn to love the strong and courageous person that they are.  

Did someone try to make you believe that something is wrong with you, that you're the problem and not okay? Did they call you names and shut you down? WORDS DO HURT! The impacts of emotional abuse cant be seen on your skin; the damage exists behind the forced smile. You dont have to force your smile here or pretend to be okay. It wasnt okay what they said and what they did that slowly eroded your self-esteem and made you question every decision you make. The therapy I provide for the empacts of emotional abuse is two fold - heal the anxiety that resulted from the abuse, and help you relearn that you are worthy, valued and loved.  

Do you cringe when you hear the phrase, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? The truth is, emotional abuse can often be much more detrimental to your well-being than physical abuse. It can lead to severe lack of self-esteem, depression, anxiety, fear, and much, much more. You are not the person your abuser says you are. You are deserving of love that doesn't hurt, control, or demean. Isn't it time for you to discover your goodness and worth?
