Emotional Abuse
Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Emotional abuse and neglect are often not given the weight they deserve. For many of my clients who have endured several forms of abuse, it is oftentimes the emotional abuse that stays with them for years. Emotional abuse can cut the sense of yourself, your self-esteem, and your self-worth. The impact of this is significant, often limiting career opportunities, relationships with self and others, and emotional experiences. If you have survived emotional abuse and/or neglect, it is possible to finally heal these wounds and find yourself again.

Micha Noble, MA
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency? The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves--the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty.

Emotional Abuse
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.

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.

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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Healing support for survivors of emotionally abusive, manipulative, coercive, controlling, narcissistic, psychologically harmful, or chronically invalidating relationships. These experiences often leave impacts that extend far beyond the relationship itself, shaping self-trust, identity, nervous system functioning, boundaries, self-worth, and one's relationship with reality.
Emotional abuse can gradually erode confidence in your own thoughts, feelings, perceptions, memories, instincts, and lived experiences. It may show up as chronic self-doubt, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, walking on eggshells, perfectionism, difficulty trusting yourself, over-explaining, self-silencing, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, chronic guilt, difficulty identifying your needs, or feeling disconnected from your own voice and inner knowing. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a nervous system that learned to adapt to unpredictability, criticism, manipulation, invalidation, coercion, or emotional unsafety.
This work explores not only what happened within the relationship, but also the ways those experiences may continue to live within the body, nervous system, beliefs, relationships, and sense of self. Attention is given to the influence of attachment experiences, family systems, culture, gender, spirituality, trauma, internalized narratives, and the survival strategies that may have helped you navigate difficult relational environments. Particular care is given to understanding how emotional abuse intersects with neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, race, culture, sexuality, and other identities that may have shaped vulnerability, coping, and meaning-making.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal-informed practices, attachment-focused therapy, parts work and Internal Family Systems (IFS), neuropsychotherapy, expressive arts, narrative therapy, and liberation-oriented healing. Therapy may include exploring patterns of protection, reconnecting with bodily wisdom and intuition, strengthening boundaries, processing traumatic experiences, understanding attachment wounds, reclaiming agency, and developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Healing is not approached as becoming less sensitive, more agreeable, or simply "moving on." It is often about reclaiming trust in your own experiences, reconnecting with your body's signals, honoring your needs and emotions, unlearning harmful messages you may have internalized, and creating enough safety for your voice, boundaries, values, and authentic self to take up space again. The goal is not simply to recover from what happened, but to cultivate relationships with yourself and others that are grounded in mutual respect, authenticity, consent, reciprocity, and care.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help people who have experienced emotional abuse reconnect with their own voice, needs, and sense of worth after long periods of being dismissed, controlled, or minimized. Together, we gently untangle the impact of those dynamics—shame, self‑doubt, confusion, and the lingering pull of old patterns—so you can understand what happened with clarity and compassion. My approach is steady, relational, and deeply affirming, supporting you as you rebuild trust in yourself and create relationships that feel safe, mutual, and respectful.

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.
