Katie Dixon
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Experiences of emotional abuse can affect your sense of safety, self-worth, trust, and ability to feel secure in relationships. Therapy can provide a supportive space to process these experiences, recognize unhealthy relationship patterns, and begin rebuilding your sense of self. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, helping you reconnect with your strengths, rebuild self-trust, and create a life that holds new possibilities at a pace that feels right for you. If you have struggled with controlling behaviors, anger, or patterns in relationships that have caused harm, therapy can help identify these patterns, help you to be accountable for your actions and develop healthier ways of managing emotions and navigating conflict. When abusive behaviors are still present in a relationship, the issues must be addressed in individual therapy first and foremost, with safety as the priority.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in emotional abuse, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to address emotional trauma. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Trauma can stem from any stressful event that threatens your safety, triggering emotional, psychological, or physical responses that deeply affect your mental health. Unfortunately, many people don't take the time to properly process their trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health issues. My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.
