MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can play a valuable role in the treatment of emotional abuse by helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists assist clients in accessing subconscious memories and emotions linked to abuse, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and regain a sense of self-worth. This approach can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience, making it a supportive complement to traditional therapies for emotional abuse recovery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Healing from Narcissistic Abuse can be a hard and painful process. Narcissistic abuse is a severe, strategic form of emotional abuse characterized by gaslighting, manipulation, and control used to diminish a victim's self-worth, often resulting in PTSD. Signs of Emotional Trauma include: Chronic self-doubt and feeling "crazy"; Hypervigilance and anxiety; Isolation and feeling worthless; Difficulty trusting one's own instincts. Therapists specializing in this area help survivors recognize the tactics and untangle the manipulation. Specialized trauma therapy focuses on breaking the trauma bond, validating reality, restoring self-esteem, and establishing boundaries to heal from these toxic power dynamics. This includes learning to say no and establishing strict boundaries to protect emotional safety, reconnecting with one's sense of self-worth separate from the abuser's perception, and developing techniques for managing stress and triggers.
