Chelli Pumphrey, MA, LPC Therapy & Coaching for survivors of narcissistic abuse & pathological relationships. Trauma-informed, feminist-rooted support.

Author of Insight is 20/20: How To Trust Yourself to Protect Yourself From Narcissistic Abuse & Toxic Relationships. Have you been abused by a narcissist? Maybe you're unsure, but your relationships have consisted of more hurt than love. Maybe you find that you ignore red flags and keep attracting one disappointing or abusive partner after another. You may wonder if you can even trust your judgment anymore. You are not alone, and you are not crazy. You have more strength than you can ever imagine. You can free yourself from the abuse, and break the pattern of abusive relationships. I am a holistic trauma therapist, and I've also survived narcissistic abuse. I am passionate about helping people heal from this confusing, damaging, insidious form of relationship abuse. I offer therapy for residents of Colorado, in the U.S., as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I also offer coaching for people who want to learn more about breaking this pattern, but who are not in need of intensive therapy. We can make this decision in a clarity call to ensure you receive the appropriate level of support.

Healing from narcissistic abuse takes more than understanding the person who hurt you. It also means understanding what happened to you.

If you've experienced narcissistic abuse, coercive control, or a toxic relationship, you may still be struggling with confusion, self-doubt, trauma bonds, or the emotional aftermath of what you've experienced.

You don't have to navigate that healing process alone.

I'm offering an 8-week online Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group, designed to help survivors understand the dynamics of abuse, make sense of their trauma responses, rebuild self-trust, and begin moving forward.

Group Details:

Dates: October 20 – December 8, 2026

When: Tuesdays, 4:00–5:15 PM Mountain Time

Where: Online via Zoom

Investment: $595, payment plans available

Format: Small, closed, professionally facilitated psychoeducational and support group

Enrollment: Free 20-minute consultation required before joining

With over 35 years of experience as a therapist, I bring specialized training in narcissistic abuse and relational trauma to create a supportive space for education, connection, and recovery.

This group is also an excellent complement to individual therapy.

This is why women don’t speak out.

Because when a woman does come forward about sexual violence, too often the scrutiny turns toward her.

What was she drinking?
Why was she there?
Why didn’t she leave?
Why didn’t she fight?
Why did she wait to report it?
Why did her understanding of what happened change?

And now: Who is she? Let’s expose her.

For those of us who work with narcissistic abuse and coercive control, the pattern is painfully familiar.

DARVO: Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender.

Shift attention away from the alleged harm. Attack the person who reported it. Make her defend herself.

And then we wonder why women stay silent.

Whatever ultimately happens in the Cornell case, Jane Doe deserves the right to remain Jane Doe. I will not participate in exposing her identity.

I will stand beside her.

Because Jane Doe could be our daughter, our sister, our friend, our client—or us.

I AM JANE DOE.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know this relationship is hurting me, so why can’t I just leave?” -there may be a reason.

Trauma bonds can make staying painful and leaving feel almost unbearable.

You don’t need more people telling you what you should do. You need a safe place to understand why you feel so stuck- and support as you begin finding your way forward.

❤️ My Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group was created for exactly this.

You don’t have to be out of the relationship yet. You don’t have to have it all figured out.

Healing from narcissistic abuse starts with understanding what happened to you—and understanding yourself without blaming yourself.

In my 8-week Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group that starts October 20,2026, we'll explore your partner's pathology, trauma bonds, attachment, personality traits, conditioning, nervous-system responses, and how to rebuild trust in yourself.

You don't have to be out of the relationship yet. You don't have to have it all figured out.

This is a small, professionally led group for women who are ready to understand what happened and begin finding their way back to themselves.

The first step is a free consultation with me. Link in bio.

Have you ever wondered why your body feels so different after prolonged stress or trauma?

Sleep changes. Exhaustion. Digestive issues. Weight changes. Blood sugar. Hormones. And for women in perimenopause or menopause, it can feel like everything is happening at once.

Tomorrow in She Rises Collective, we’re talking about what chronic stress can do to the body—and, more importantly, how we can begin supporting our bodies as they heal.

We’re thrilled to welcome Yvonne Montoya-Matthews, MS, CNS, LDN, BCHN®, functional nutritionist and herbalist, for:

✨ Understanding Your Body After Chronic Stress: Nutrition, Stress & the Path Toward Healing

Yvonne will help us understand the connection between stress, nutrition, hormones, gut health, and nervous-system resilience—and share practical, holistic ways to support our bodies moving forward.

So many women have been taught that being a “good” woman means anticipating everyone’s needs, carrying the emotional load, keeping the peace, and putting ourselves last.

And then we wonder why we’re exhausted.

Maybe healing isn’t about learning how to carry it all better.

Maybe it’s about finally putting some of it down.

Women are angry. And this anger is about more than one trial.

When women repeatedly watch systems minimize our realities, dismiss legitimate concerns, and then tell us the system is working exactly as designed, we have to ask:

Who was it designed to work for?

Sometimes healing doesn’t look like a dramatic transformation.

Sometimes it looks like questioning yourself a little less.

Explaining yourself a little less.

Trusting what you know.

Choosing your peace.

And slowly finding your way back to the woman you had to silence in order to survive.

**This is what it means to rise.**
