At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that childhood emotional neglect—the absence of adequate emotional attunement, validation, and nurturing—can create profound but often invisible wounds that affect every aspect of adult functioning. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that emotional neglect, while not always obvious like other forms of childhood adversity, creates developmental gaps in emotional awareness, regulation, and relational skills.
You struggle to identify what you're feeling beyond vague discomfort.
You develop a rich emotional vocabulary and awareness of your internal experience.
Relationships feel superficial or unsafe, leading to isolation.
You create authentic connections based on genuine emotional sharing.
Self-criticism dominates your internal dialogue with little self-compassion.
You develop a nurturing inner voice that provides the validation once missing.
Your needs and preferences feel unimportant or indulgent.
You recognize and honor your needs as valid and worthy of attention.
Life feels like going through motions without deep meaning or joy.
You experience a fuller range of emotions, including genuine pleasure and satisfaction.
We understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming. We’re here to make this decision easier for you.

You might doubt whether therapy can help, especially if you’ve struggled for a long time or had disappointing experiences with untrained therapists or life coaches. At Evergreen Counseling, our trauma-trained therapists are deeply committed to providing expert care.
