Growing up with toxic parents or in a painful family environment can leave lasting wounds. Many adult children of toxic parents struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, guilt, or difficulties in relationships. You may find yourself people-pleasing, second-guessing your choices, or feeling like you’re “never enough.” The truth is—you are not broken, and healing is possible.

Healing From Childhood Trauma and Toxic Parents

How Therapy Helps

Childhood trauma doesn’t just fade with time. It can show up in subtle ways, shaping how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to:

  • Process childhood trauma without judgment

  • Break free from toxic family patterns

  • Learn to set healthy boundaries with confidence

  • Rebuild self-worth and self-trust

  • Create healthier, more fulfilling relationships

My Approach

I specialize in helping adults recover from toxic parents and the long-lasting effects of childhood trauma. Using evidence-based techniques like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), CBT, and mindfulness, I work with you to gently process painful memories and replace self-doubt with resilience and peace. Each session is tailored to your story, offering compassionate support and practical tools for lasting change.

Signs You May Be Carrying Unresolved Childhood Trauma

  • Feeling guilty when saying “no”

  • Struggling with anxiety, shame, or low self-esteem

  • Difficulty trusting yourself or others

  • People-pleasing or fear of rejection

  • Feeling drained or criticized after interactions with family

If these resonate with you, therapy can help you break free from these patterns and build a healthier future.

Recovering from childhood trauma and toxic parents takes courage—but you don’t have to do it alone. With the right support, you can release the weight of the past and move forward with confidence, peace, and self-compassion.
