Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients who have experienced emotional abuse, I provide a safe and validating environment for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to process the impact of emotional abuse on their self-esteem, sense of worth, and overall well-being. I offer validation, helping patients recognize that their experiences are real and valid. We explore coping strategies to manage the emotional aftermath of abuse, such as setting boundaries, building self-confidence, and developing healthy relationships. Additionally, I provide education about emotional abuse dynamics and help patients identify and challenge any distorted beliefs or negative patterns that may have resulted from the abuse. My goal is to empower patients to heal from the effects of emotional abuse, regain their sense of agency and self-worth, and move forward in their lives with resilience and strength.

Emotional Abuse
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, especially when there are no visible scars and the harm unfolded slowly over time. Many people come to therapy feeling confused, doubting themselves, or wondering if they’re “overreacting.” In our work together, I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are taken seriously and your reality is respected. We focus on helping you make sense of what happened, rebuild trust in your perceptions, and understand the emotional patterns that may still be lingering in your body and relationships.
Therapy for emotional abuse is not about pushing you to relive the past or rushing you toward forgiveness. It’s about restoring your sense of self. Gently and at your pace, we work on strengthening boundaries, easing shame, and reconnecting you with your inner voice. As clarity grows, many clients find they feel more grounded, more confident, and better able to choose relationships that feel safe, mutual, and supportive.

Emotional Abuse
Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Abuse can sometimes go unidentified for long periods of time, even by the victim. Not only can this impact levels of safety and trust in others and the world, but it can also impact how one trusts the self to make decisions and grasp reality. As is human nature, we develop mechanisms to help us survive trauma, which is a wonderful human ability. However, delineating between reality, survival responses, typical emotional needs, etc can be daunting once one has experienced and reacted to a trauma. We are here to help you create your own sense of safety and promote a true understanding of the self through mind-body awareness (where appropriate).

Emotional Abuse
Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that no one can see, but you feel every day. It often leads to self-doubt, feeling “never good enough,” second-guessing yourself, and living on edge trying to keep others happy. I know from personal experience how confusing and painful it can be to make sense of what you lived through, what you were told about yourself, and how you were treated. Healing is possible. In therapy, we’ll work to understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, why it happens, and how it impacts your nervous system, identity, and relationships. Most importantly, we’ll focus on helping you reclaim your voice, rebuild self-trust, and set boundaries that support healthier connections moving forward.
