Therapy for Toxic Relationships

Break the cycle. Heal. Reclaim your peace.

Are You in a Toxic Relationship?

Toxic relationships aren’t always loud, dramatic, or obvious. Sometimes they wear you down quietly—leaving you feeling confused, exhausted, anxious, or never “good enough.” Whether it’s a romantic partner, parent, sibling, coworker, or friend, toxic dynamics can erode your self-worth and cloud your sense of reality.

You deserve relationships that are safe, respectful, and nurturing.

Therapy can help you untangle the patterns, rebuild your sense of self, and learn how to set boundaries that protect your peace.

Signs of a Toxic Relationship

You may be in a toxic or emotionally harmful relationship if:

  • You feel drained, anxious, or “on edge” after interacting with the person

  • You’re constantly walking on eggshells to avoid conflict or criticism

  • The relationship feels one-sided or emotionally manipulative

  • Your feelings and needs are dismissed, minimized, or mocked

  • There’s gaslighting, control, emotional outbursts, or guilt-tripping

  • You doubt your memory, judgment, or perception of events

  • You feel isolated, insecure, or ashamed—but aren’t sure why

Toxic relationships can look different for everyone. Whether the harm is subtle or overt, your pain is valid—and healing is possible.
