Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Emotional abuse can be difficult to name — and even harder to heal from, because the wounds it leaves are invisible.

You deserve a space where your experience is fully seen, validated, and worked through at a pace that feels safe.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults heal from the effects of emotional abuse and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Emotional abuse can leave lasting impacts on self-esteem, trust, emotional well-being, and one's sense of safety and identity. Individuals may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or challenges in future relationships. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and trauma-informed care, I help clients process painful experiences, rebuild self-confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and foster resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can heal, regain their sense of self, and move forward with greater strength and confidence.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients who have experienced emotional abuse will internalize abusive messages about themselves, resulting in low self-esteem and a reduced sense of self-worth.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.
