Recover Well: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group
Recover Well: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group is a small, trauma-informed therapy group for individuals healing from narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships.

Together, we focus on emotional regulation and breaking unhealthy relational patterns that linger after abuse. Group size is intentionally limited to foster safety and meaningful connection. Led by Tanise Smith, MS, LPC, LCPC, this group supports your movement from confusion and self-doubt toward clarity, confidence, and empowerment in relationships.
