Start Therapy for Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery

Have you been wondering if healing from narcissistic abuse and trauma is even possible?

And over time, this doesn’t just stay uncomfortable.
It can begin to affect how you make decisions, how you show up in relationships, and how safe you feel in your own life.

If you’ve been carrying this longer than you expected… that matters more than waiting.

You don’t need to know exactly what healing looks like yet.
You only need to know you don’t want to keep hurting.

We begin by helping you feel steady again, before anything deeper is asked of you.

If part of you is noticing how much this has been affecting you… that matters.

The Truth About Starting Therapy

Therapy can feel intense or uncertain.
You’ve spent so long adjusting to someone else’s reactions that even peace can feel unfamiliar.

Starting counseling may feel like stepping into the unknown, especially after years of confusion and emotional strain.

This work isn’t about “moving on.”
It’s about unlearning what made you question yourself and rebuilding a sense of safety within you.

The confusion.
The exhaustion.
The quiet question: “Was it really that bad?”

If that still lingers, it matters.
And it can begin to change.

If you’re wondering whether therapy is right for you, it’s okay to feel unsure. Visit our therapy introductory page.

If part of you is ready to feel steadier and begin rebuilding trust in yourself, this may be a supportive place to start.  Find out if therapy is for you

Q: What Happens in Therapy

You won’t be rushed, and you won’t be asked to relive everything at once.
We begin with safety, creating space for you to settle, feel steady, and start making sense of what you’ve been carrying.
You’re met where you are, at a pace that feels right for you.

Q: How long will I be in counseling?

Healing isn’t timed. It’s paced. Some come short-term for clarity; others stay to rebuild their identity and peace. You choose what feels right.

Q: Do you accept insurance?

We work exclusively with private-pay clients and do not accept insurance. This allows us to provide more personalized, confidential care without the restrictions or requirements often imposed by insurance companies. Payment is accepted through all major credit cards as well as HSA and FSA accounts. Some clients may choose to pursue out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance plan if those benefits are available.
