Tristan Smith (He/Him)

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

Abuse deeply impacts our way of thinking and feeling about the world. Through my vocational experience, I have observed that any form of abuse shapes our behavior and coping mechanisms. Many people turn to various endeavors to avoid confronting the trauma, perpetuating a cycle of pain and stunted growth. Developing introspection, understanding our external environment, and building internal validation are key foundational steps in reducing the impact that abuse can have on us.

I have trained in working with offenders of domestic violence, so I have a better understanding of what abuse looks like, how it's expressed and what causes it. This enables me to better understand how you might be experiencing abuse and to clear up confusion you may be experiencing. This understanding combined with trauma relief offers effective treatment.

The impacts of abuse are often far-reaching and can impact major areas of human development. Experiencing abuse can decrease self-esteem and create negative perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. Creating space for individuals to empower themselves and develop skills around nervous system regulation can be crucial to healing and growth.

Jenna Washburn (she / her)

MA: Mental Health Counseling - Specialization in Addictions

I specialize in treating clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse over their lifetime. The term narcissistic abuse is used to categorize the way a person experiences emotional abuse and manipulation when in a relationship with someone exhibiting narcissistic behavior. This “relationship” does not necessarily have to pertain to a romantic partner. It could also be with a family member, a friend, a coworker, or any other important relationship that is impacting your life.

Sophie Toolanen (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

I am fully trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is an effective approach for shifting core negative beliefs about self and freeing you from negative effects of past trauma, including abuse and neglect. I also use IFS, an approach aimed at healing wounded parts of self, that get in the way of self-compassion, and easing rigidity of protective, yet self-defeating, defensive mechanisms.
