Emotional Abuse
Compassionate Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Emotional abuse is insidious. It has the potential to go unchecked for a very long time. And when you do finally recognize that it's happening to you, there are waves of emotions and decisions that need to be addressed. Creating a support system to help you find emotional and relational safety, compassion, and understanding are vital. Learning how to recognize abuse takes time and expertise. We can help.

Emotional Abuse
Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Emotional abuse — especially from a narcissistic partner or parent — can leave you questioning your worth, your memories, and even your sanity. Many of my clients grew up with criticism, manipulation, or constant blame, and later found themselves repeating those painful patterns in adult relationships. In therapy, I help you untangle the confusion, recognize the ways you’ve been controlled, and separate your true self from the voice of the abuser. Over time, you can rebuild confidence, set boundaries without guilt, and begin to trust your own feelings again.

Emotional Abuse
Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Emotional abuse leaves invisible wounds that can be just as devastating as physical trauma. If you've experienced manipulation, gaslighting, constant criticism, or controlling behavior, you may struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from your own reality. You deserve validation that what you experienced was real and that its impact on your life matters.
In our therapeutic work together, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. We'll work to rebuild your sense of self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, and develop tools to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns. Through evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care, we'll address the complex effects of emotional abuse—from intrusive thoughts and hypervigilance to difficulties trusting yourself and others.
Recovery is possible. Many survivors of emotional abuse rediscover their authentic selves, build fulfilling relationships, and reclaim their power. Whether you're still in a difficult situation, recently left, or dealing with long-term effects from past abuse, I'm here to support you in breaking free from the cycle and creating the life you deserve. Your experiences are valid, your healing matters, and you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

Emotional Abuse
Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients experiencing emotional abuse by providing a safe, validating, and nonjudgmental space where they can explore their experiences and the impact on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I help clients recognize patterns of manipulation, control, and verbal or psychological harm, and understand how these experiences affect self-esteem, boundaries, and relationships. I teach coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and trauma responses, and work with clients to develop healthy boundaries, assertiveness, and self-protection skills. Additionally, I assist clients in rebuilding self-worth, processing feelings of shame or guilt, and developing supportive networks. Throughout therapy, I provide guidance, empowerment, and tools to help clients heal, regain control, and make safe, informed decisions for their well-being.

West Valley City is Utah's second-largest city and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state, home to large Latino, Polynesian (particularly Tongan and Samoan), and refugee communities that make it dramatically different from the predominantly white, LDS suburban cities surrounding it in the Salt Lake Valley. This diversity creates significant demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy, and the intersection of mental health needs across immigrant, refugee, and Pacific Islander communities with Utah's broader LDS religious culture—which shapes community norms around mental health and help-seeking—creates a complex and underserved landscape. Intermountain Health and Valley Behavioral Health provide services in the area, and community health organizations address the specific trauma and adjustment needs of refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, acculturation, family stress, economic anxiety, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a city where cultural and religious contexts vary sharply across neighborhoods.
