Narcissistic Abuse Recovery | Healing From Emotional Abuse

Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State & Vermont

psychwellcounseling@gmail.com | 206.604.8155

Welcome. I’m Andre, a French-American psychotherapist with more than twenty years of experience helping individuals navigate narcissistic abuse recovery, relational trauma, and the particular psychological challenges that arise when living between cultures, countries, and identities.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and highly self-aware. They have often spent considerable time trying to understand their circumstances, yet continue to feel confused, emotionally exhausted, or caught in patterns that are difficult to resolve alone.

Areas of Focus

I provide specialized support for healing from and making sense of various forms of emotional abuse, including:

• Narcissistic Abuse
• Sociopathic Abuse
• Bullying
• Dysfunctional Family Dynamics
• Family Estrangement
• Toxic environments (work, school, community)
• Coercive Control
• Systems of power and control

What This Can Look Like

The effects of emotional abuse are often invisible to others — and sometimes even to ourselves. You might recognize:

• Persistent, unexplained anxiety
• Continual self-doubt and low self-esteem
• Difficulty finding healthy relationships
• A loss of a coherent sense of identity
• Not understanding your own core needs
• A recurring pattern of prioritizing others’ needs over your own
• Understanding your patterns intellectually but continuing to feel emotionally stuck

How I Work

My approach is psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and systems-based. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I help you understand the deeper patterns that connect your present experiences to your personal history, relationships, family system, and broader environment.

Many forms of emotional suffering make more sense when understood within the context in which they developed. Anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, and emotional overwhelm are often not random problems, but understandable responses to complex life experiences and relational environments.

Together, we work to identify these patterns, understand their origins, and create meaningful and lasting change.

Why I Do This Work

As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, I know firsthand what this experience feels like — the way it is overlooked, minimized, misunderstood, and perpetuated in places we often least expect.

Helping people better make sense of what happened and find more peace and joy in life is what fuels my practice. While psychotherapy often involves exploring painful topics, it can lead to feeling more solid in yourself and having the ability to build the life you deserve.
