Counseling for Toxic Relationships

Hope Counseling and Healing provides individual counseling for issues related to toxic relationships. Toxic or unhealthy relationships can make you question yourself, your sanity and cause you to wonder if you what you feel is true. Toxic relationships can be difficult to identify at times because it can start in small ways where we don't even recognize it's happening and there can be feelings of shame about reaching out for help. With increasing awareness and knowledge in the mental health field about the nature of toxic relationships, know that you are not alone and there is help available to you. Toxic relationships can occur in all kinds of relationships with family, friends, bosses, co-workers, spouses and romantic partners.
