Therapy focuses on restoring your voice, strengthening boundaries, and creating a sense of internal safety.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience emotional abuse, we come up with creative ways of coping to try to get our needs met or even to disconnect from those needs. The creative coping strategies we develop as children tend to stay with us into adulthood, especially if we haven’t developed new coping skills. Without awareness of the impacts of our pain, we tend to replicate patterns of people pleasing, hyper-independence, perfectionism, lack of boundaries, and seeking emotionally unavailable/painful relationships.

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.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Emotional abuse often happens so gradually that you do not even realize what is happening until you have lost confidence in yourself. You may find yourself second-guessing your thoughts, walking on eggshells, or wondering if you are the problem. Therapy can help you understand what you have experienced, rebuild your sense of self, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

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.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Victims of emotional abuse may feel like they have completely lost themselves. When we experience psychological abuse, there are severe ramifications that impact our ability to function holistically in our lives. To make matters worse, emotional abuse is often invisible to others. Our partner may behave differently in front our friends and family, but behind closed doors they are bullies and tyrants. This leads to feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and shame. As the confusion and disorientation of this experience sets in, victims start to distrust their own healthy instincts and may even blame themselves for their partners abusive behaviors. The cycle of psychological beatings is a soul killing process. Whether you experienced emotional abuse as a child or are currently living with this traumatic experience, there is hope, joy, and empowerment to be found beyond the pain and suffering.

Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced emotional abuse, psychological abuse, and relational trauma, including chronic invalidation, manipulation, control, gaslighting, and environments where their emotional reality was consistently dismissed or distorted. Many clients I work with do not initially identify their experiences as “abuse,” but describe feeling confused, anxious in relationships, overly self-critical, or unsure of their own perceptions.
Emotional abuse often leaves a lasting impact on self-trust, boundaries, and identity. Even after leaving the relationship or environment, the nervous system may remain in patterns of hypervigilance, shutdown, or self-doubt.
My approach is trauma-informed and experiential. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process the internalized impact of emotional abuse at the level of the nervous system, not just cognitively. These modalities support the resolution of stuck emotional material while helping rebuild a stable internal sense of safety and self-trust.
I also incorporate attachment-focused work and nervous system regulation, particularly for individuals who struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting their own emotions and perceptions. Therapy is paced carefully to ensure that work on painful relational experiences does not feel overwhelming or destabilizing.
Over time, clients often report greater clarity in relationships, improved boundary-setting, and a stronger, more grounded sense of self.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Emotional abuse can take such a toll on a persons life, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. Emotionally abusive relationships can cause a person to question themselves, and everyone around them, which can be extremely isolating, lonely, and scary. Emotional wounds tend to cut even deeper than physical wounds can. It is so important when in an emotionally abusive relationship, or in recovery of one, that we have an ample amount of support, encouragement and perspective on the situation. Our therapists can offer a variety of support to clients in and out of emotionally abusive relationships, and help uncover the root of those who are drawn to these types of relationships, and to those who find themselves contributing to creating them.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
So often, family members who struggle with addiction and mental illness become abusive. They may not even understand how their behavior impacts others. If you grew up with emotional abuse, you may not even fully recognize it as abuse - because it has become so normal. But you know you’re hurting. You know you feel fear in situations that don’t seem to bother others. You may have a harsh inner critic, worry about what others think of you, or get stuck in shame spirals - especially if shame was used to control or manipulate you. I help clients develop an inner voice that is consistently warm, kind, supportive and nurturing. As this inner voice develops, it not only heals past abuse, it also prevents future abuse. Because, once you feel what it’s like to be truly cared for (from within), it becomes nearly impossible to settle for less.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
As a certified EMDR provider, I work with many individuals who are survivors of emotional abuse. My first job out of college was at a residential treatment center in San Francisco for children, many of whom had experienced terrible emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. My work has always included many survivors and I strive to be attuned and supportive throughout the process. I use various modalities in this treatment, including polyvagal approaches, psychodynamic insight-oriented therapy, AEDP (attachment based relational work) and trauma work (most often with EMDR if tolerated).

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Emotional Abuse Recovery: Emotional abuse can leave invisible wounds that affect your confidence, trust, boundaries, and sense of self. You may find yourself second-guessing your reality, struggling with self-worth, feeling anxious in relationships, or carrying beliefs that were shaped by manipulation, criticism, or control.
As a therapist, I help clients recognize the impact of emotional abuse and begin the process of reclaiming their voice, identity, and personal power. Together, we’ll challenge harmful patterns, strengthen boundaries, and rebuild trust in yourself and your instincts.
Healing is not simply about leaving unhealthy dynamics behind. It’s about rediscovering who you are when fear, shame, and self-doubt no longer define your life.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help survivors understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, including how manipulation, gaslighting, and other tactics are used to exert control and power over them. By recognizing and naming the abusive behaviors, survivors can begin to dismantle the internalized beliefs and self-blame that often accompany emotional abuse.
