Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Emotional abuse is a form of complex trauma. It leaves deep marks on the nervous system, identity, and sense of safety. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently untangle the fear, shame, confusion, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your life. I teach you interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help you identify and avoid emotional abuse in the future.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, especially when there’s no yelling, hitting, or clear line that’s been crossed. It often shows up as manipulation, gaslighting, control, or constant criticism—leaving you doubting your own feelings, questioning your worth, or walking on eggshells in your own relationships.
If you're starting to wonder whether what you’ve experienced was abuse, or if you're trying to heal from the impact of someone who chipped away at your confidence over time, I can help. You don’t have to justify your pain or prove that it was “bad enough.” If it hurt you, that’s enough.
In therapy, we’ll work to rebuild your self-trust, identify the patterns you’ve internalized, and create a new sense of safety in your relationships—with others and with yourself. Healing from emotional abuse is possible, and you deserve support that helps you move forward without shame.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, including patterns of control, manipulation, gaslighting, and chronic invalidation. My approach focuses on helping clients make sense of their experiences, rebuild trust in their own perceptions, and understand the impact these dynamics have had on their identity and relationships. I support clients in developing clear boundaries, recognizing unhealthy patterns, and responding to manipulative behavior with greater confidence and intention. Together, we work to strengthen self-worth, reduce self-doubt, and create a greater sense of safety, autonomy, and stability moving forward.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, yet its impact runs deep. Maybe you’ve been made to feel small, controlled, or constantly second-guess yourself. Perhaps you’ve been told that your feelings don’t matter, that you’re “too sensitive,” or that you’re the problem. Over time, this kind of treatment can erode your self-esteem, leave you feeling trapped, and make it hard to trust yourself or others. Even if the abuse is in the past, its effects can linger in the way you see yourself and navigate relationships.
Healing from emotional abuse is about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your experience, rebuild self-trust, and help you step out of survival mode into a life where you feel empowered and in control. You deserve to be heard, respected, and valued—not just by others, but by yourself. It’s possible to move forward, and you don’t have to do it alone.
