Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People are attracted to what is familiar. What is familiar is not always healthy. If you find yourself in repetitive cycles with the people in your life, feel that you are being "gas-lighted" in your current relationship, always feel as though you are having to walk on eggshells in order to avoid being shamed and put down, and don’t know how to sort things out and do things differently, a therapeutic relationship can help.

Sarah Safron-Chiu
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
In addressing emotional abuse, we will explore attachment patterns and abusive behaviors that oftentimes lead to a repetition compulsion later in life. Current relational patterns including co-dependency, difficulties setting boundaries, and ties to individuals who continue the pattern of emotional injury will be explored, while healthier relationship dynamics and internal healing takes place.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in the treatment of emotional abuse, my approach prioritizes creating a safe and validating therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and heal from the effects of abuse. Through trauma-informed therapy modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I help clients process their emotions, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop coping skills to rebuild their sense of self-worth and autonomy. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the dynamics of emotional abuse and support clients in setting boundaries, enhancing self-care practices, and accessing resources for safety and support. Collaboration with other professionals, such as legal advocates or social workers, may also be integrated into the treatment plan to address practical needs and ensure holistic healing. My goal is to empower individuals to reclaim their agency, cultivate resilience, and thrive in relationships characterized by respect and empathy.
