  • Using guilt, threats, or intimidation.

Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in Houston gives people the safe space they need to identify and understand the harm they’ve experienced and move forward.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
