Cognitive & Emotional Healing

Cognitive & Emotional Healing: Shifting the Way You See Yourself

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to growth isn’t what’s happening around us—it’s what we believe about ourselves. Old patterns, critical self-talk, and emotional reactivity can quietly shape our relationships, work, and well-being. Therapy can help break these patterns, uncover their roots, and create space for self-compassion and healing.

At Healing Horizons Therapy, Meredith Parent, LMFT, supports clients in identifying negative thought patterns, unresolved emotions, and internalized beliefs that no longer serve them.


What Is Cognitive & Emotional Healing?

This work focuses on helping clients make connections between past experiences and present struggles—then gently transforming how they view themselves and the world. It includes:

  • Recognizing core beliefs and self-talk

  • Processing emotions that feel stuck or overwhelming

  • Exploring how childhood experiences shaped current behavior

  • Replacing shame and self-criticism with self-understanding


Signs You Might Benefit from This Work:

  • Difficulty setting boundaries or speaking up

  • Self-doubt or chronic guilt

  • Cycles of emotional reactivity or withdrawal

  • Feeling like you “should be over it by now”


Transforming from the Inside Out

Cognitive and emotional healing doesn’t mean fixing who you are—it means rediscovering your strength, your voice, and your ability to choose something new.
