West Hollywood, California therapist: Dr. Ingrid Solano, psychologist
Emotional Abuse

Dr. Ingrid Solano

Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life. Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.) In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

San Diego, California therapist: Whole Wellness Therapy, marriage and family therapist
Emotional Abuse

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.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
Emotional Abuse

Russell Wilkie

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
The subtlety of emotional abuse is sometimes hard to see. Having studied it thoroughly, I know it very well and see it clearly and I coach others how to see it sooner. Getting out of a negative relationship, or the cycle of not seeing it, takes a good deal of understanding the nuances of what it is and how it happens. I can help you learn to see it earlier and get yourself out of bad situations sooner and set better boundaries so you don't get abused in the future.

Emma Esper

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Emotional abuse can be one of the most detrimental things to endure and can cause significant conflict within individuals, couples, and families. However, this is also an area of abuse that often does not get addressed. It is often rationalized away. I am here to validate the hurtful impacts of emotional abuse, help victims to find their voice, process feelings of guilt and shame, and to help make repairs.

San Francisco, California therapist: Julie Levin, marriage and family therapist
Emotional Abuse

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.

Emotional Abuse

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.
