Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced emotional abuse (and/or other types of abuse) in their relationships. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the trauma they have been experiencing and help navigate the paths they would like to take to move forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, especially when it’s subtle, ongoing, or comes from someone close to you. You may find yourself doubting your reality, feeling overly responsible for others, or struggling with low self-worth. Therapy provides a space to make sense of these experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and begin to heal. Together, we focus on strengthening boundaries, processing the impact of past interactions, and helping you feel more confident, clear, and grounded in your relationships.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Emotional abuse in childhood can leave invisible scars that shape the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world. Maybe you grew up feeling like you had to earn love, constantly walking on eggshells to avoid criticism or rejection. You may still hear the voice of a parent who dismissed your feelings, called you “too sensitive,” or made you feel like nothing you did was good enough. Over time, you learned to question your own emotions, suppress your needs, and put others first—even when it hurts you. Now, as an adult, you might struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or an inability to trust yourself and your decisions. Even when you logically know the past is over, the patterns of emotional abuse still play out in your relationships, your anxiety, and the way you talk to yourself.
But you don’t have to keep living in the shadow of your past. Healing from childhood emotional abuse isn’t just about understanding what happened—it’s about reclaiming the parts of yourself that were silenced, shamed, or ignored. Using Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients unravel the toxic messages they internalized in childhood, heal deep-seated shame, and rebuild self-worth from the inside out. Therapy allows you to set boundaries without guilt, trust your emotions instead of second-guessing them, and step into a life where you no longer feel small or invisible. You are not broken—you were conditioned to believe you were. It’s time to break free and reclaim the voice that was taken from you.

Alice Barton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Part of the domestic abuse/violence dynamic, emotional abuse is one form of intimate partner violence. Emotional abuse can be confusing, keeping the woman locked in a cycle of battering, building and beautiful gifts. I have worked with hundreds of women at various stages in their relationships to help them build their self esteem so they can make the best decision for themselves and their children.

Emotional abuse is often harder to recognize than physical abuse. I help you identify controlling, manipulative, or dismissive dynamics, validate your experience, and rebuild confidence in your own judgment.

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
Emotional abuse can be subtle and confusing, eroding confidence through criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, or chronic invalidation. Many clients come in knowing something feels “off” but struggling to name it. I help individuals understand these patterns, rebuild their sense of self, and heal the nervous-system impact of ongoing emotional harm. Together, we strengthen boundaries, rediscover personal truth, and cultivate relationships where you feel respected, valued, and emotionally safe.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
If you've experienced emotional abuse, you may find yourself constantly second-guessing yourself, questioning your perceptions, walking on eggshells, or feeling like you've lost confidence in who you are.
Even after the relationship ends, the effects often remain.
Many survivors struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from themselves.
I help you rebuild your sense of self, strengthen boundaries, process painful experiences, and begin to feel safe, confident, and empowered again.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Emotional abuse often doesn’t leave bruises, but it can erode your confidence and make you doubt your own reality. I help clients name gaslighting, spiritual/emotional manipulation, and chronically invalidating environments — including in families and churches — and then relearn how to trust themselves. Using parts work/IFS and trauma-responsive care, we work to restore self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and build relationships that feel safe.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Trauma of all kinds change how we operate and how we feel powerful, responsible, valuable, and safe in our bodies, in relationships and our world. When we have emotional abuse, that changes how we operate and approach relationships and how we feel about ourselves. We offer trauma intervention that can help clear the trauma from the body and reroute the mind to rewire those negative cognitions and help bring in adaptive thoughts and truths about ourselves.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Developing a close relationship with someone who displays narcissistic tendencies can result in trauma and pain. If you believe you have experienced narcissistic abuse from a parent, a partner, a friend, or another close entity, you may have noticed daily or near-daily dread, brain fog, panic, helplessness, and powerlessness. You may feel shame, self-doubt, and confusion alongside a tendency to blame yourself for all the ways this relationship feels wrong. You may feel that you’ve lost touch with your former confidence and vitality, as though both you and your world have shrunk under the shadow of this relationship. You may continue to feel deep longing and love for a person you know has harmed you.
At PCT, we are here to validate and witness your journey to healing. We will work with you to address the acute emotional and somatic symptoms of narcissistic abuse no matter where you are in your healing process. We will cultivate compassion for all the parts of you that have emerged throughout this struggle. We’ll walk with you as you gather the pieces of yourself and put them back together. We will help you build a strong foundation that can’t be rocked, and a home in yourself where you can know peace and acceptance.

J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Emotional abuse, especially narcissistic abuse, can be difficult to recognize and often leaves lasting effects on self-esteem, trust, and relationship patterns. These experiences may involve gaslighting, manipulation, chronic criticism, emotional invalidation, or feeling as though your needs and feelings are consistently minimized. Over time, you may find yourself questioning your perceptions, struggling with boundaries, or feeling unsure of your own needs. I help clients process these experiences, rebuild confidence and self-worth, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Meliora Counseling & Wellness

Words hurt, they stick like glue. We need to sometimes overcome the words people have said to us in the past. We need to replace the cruel words and give ourselves power back.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Under the guise of trauma focused therapy, the more subtle and therefore sometimes most confusing aspects of emotional abuse can become critical to unwind and understand both in the context of past childhood experiences with immature caregivers, how these experiences can inform the choice of romantic partners later in life and how to move past these patterns and expectations to allow for growth and freedom from relationships that detract rather than add.
