Emotional abuse can leave deep, invisible wounds that affect your confidence, relationships, and sense of safety. Whether it involves manipulation, control, humiliation, or gaslighting, the impact can be just as serious as physical harm. At The Summit Counseling Center, we provide a safe, supportive space to begin healing and rebuild your sense of self.
