Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC
Emotional abuse is often hidden and extremely painful. It can make you feel like you are crazy. It is important to understand the dynamics as a first step to freeing yourself from an emotionally abusive situation.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address emotional abuse with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the profound impact it has on an individual's well-being. Grounded in Christian principles, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore the emotional wounds caused by abuse. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, compassion, and the inherent worth of individuals, therapy sessions may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on forgiveness. I collaborate with clients to build resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and foster a sense of empowerment through their faith. While addressing the psychological aspects of emotional abuse, the counselor also guides individuals in seeking spiritual strength and relying on God's grace for healing. This integrated approach aims to support clients in breaking free from the cycle of abuse, restoring their self-worth, and promoting emotional well-being within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize because it often shows up as subtle patterns—being dismissed, blamed, invalidated, or made to question your own reality. You may find yourself constantly explaining your intentions, doubting your memory, or feeling like nothing you do is ever quite right. Over time, this can lead to confusion, anxiety, and a loss of trust in your own instincts. In our work, we focus on clearly identifying these dynamics so you can name what’s happening, rebuild your sense of self, and begin to establish boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
For many people who have lived with emotional abuse, a therapeutic relationship is the first safe relationship they have. It is understandable to build trust over time at a pace your nervous system dictates, and I feel honored to do this work and walk beside you on this journey.
Emotional abuse sometimes produces symptoms of PTSD. EMDR, which I am extensively trained in, and other therapies can significantly reduce these symptoms.
