Emotional Abuse
Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals escaping emotionally abusive relationships—whether with a partner or family member. Emotional abuse can leave deep wounds, eroding self-worth and making it difficult to trust yourself or others. My approach focuses on helping you reclaim your identity, set firm boundaries, and heal from the effects of manipulation, gaslighting, and control. Through trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and self-empowerment strategies, I help clients break free from toxic dynamics and rebuild a life rooted in self-trust, confidence, and emotional safety. You deserve peace and respect, and you have nothing to be ashamed of if you're a victim of emotional abuse.

Emotional abuse often comes in the form of what others have said to you and have resulted in deep negative self beliefs. Through IFS, we will find those parts of you that still hold those beliefs and offer to unburden them, providing you with relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety.

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

My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.
