Emotional abuse often is minimized or not even recognized at all. Which is a bunch of crap that I think we're socially programed to put up with. Screw that. It leaves deep wounds and can wreak havoc in all areas of life. I am very passionate and experienced in this area and want to help you through it.

Emotional Abuse
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds—often invisible but profoundly painful. You may question your worth, doubt your perceptions, or struggle with trust and boundaries. In therapy, we focus on rebuilding your sense of safety, confidence, and self-respect. Together, we’ll uncover and heal the impact of manipulation, criticism, or neglect. Using evidence-based trauma therapies, you can learn to release shame, rebuild inner strength, and reclaim your authentic voice.

Emotional Abuse
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Emotional abuse can be subtle, confusing, and deeply destabilizing. It often involves patterns of control, manipulation, gaslighting, invalidation, or chronic criticism that erode a person’s sense of self over time. Many survivors question their own perceptions or minimize their experiences, especially when there are no visible injuries or when care and harm coexist.
In therapy, I offer a space to gently explore your experiences without pressure to label them before you’re ready. Our work focuses on restoring trust in your own reality, understanding how abusive dynamics take shape, and supporting your nervous system as it recovers from chronic relational stress. Therapy is paced, consent-centered, and grounded in compassion—helping you reconnect with your voice, rebuild boundaries, and move toward relationships that feel safe, mutual, and affirming.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who have been in relationships where their feelings, needs, or perceptions were dismissed, minimized, or used against them. Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to name, especially when the relationship also included care, love, or periods of calm. You might relate to feeling confused about what was “real,” wondering if you were too sensitive or overreacting, replaying conversations in your head, or changing your behavior to avoid criticism, withdrawal, or the silent treatment. For many people, these patterns started young, in families where you had to stay tuned in to other people’s moods, keep the peace, or be “easy” so things didn’t get worse. Experiences like this can leave a long imprint: second‑guessing yourself, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, bracing for criticism even when nothing is wrong, or working hard to stay acceptable so conflict doesn’t escalate. You may find yourself feeling small in relationships, even when you are competent and grounded in other areas of your life. Over time, these patterns can shape your sense of self, your nervous system, and what you believe you are allowed to expect from others. In our work together, we make space for what you went through and how it lives in your body and relationships now, and we explore what it means to move forward with more clarity, self‑trust, and choice.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse is insidious precisely because it leaves no visible marks. It makes you question your memory, your perception, your worth. It's designed to. At Simple Empathy we work with survivors of emotional abuse to rebuild trust in their own reality — what they felt, what they saw, what they knew. Using Narrative Therapy and IFS we'll untangle what was done to you from who you actually are, and help you build a self that doesn't need external validation to feel real. Direct, honest and unflinching work for people who are done doubting themselves.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults heal from the effects of emotional abuse and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Emotional abuse can leave lasting impacts on self-esteem, trust, emotional well-being, and one's sense of safety and identity. Individuals may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or challenges in future relationships. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and trauma-informed care, I help clients process painful experiences, rebuild self-confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and foster resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can heal, regain their sense of self, and move forward with greater strength and confidence.

Emotional Abuse
Courtney Crooks
Psychologist, PhD, CTMH, CCTP
Emotional abuse can negatively impact your physical and psychological well-being. Through brief or long term psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches using empirically-supported methods, I work with each patient to identify core themes and repetitions linked to their relationship patterns, including experiences of narcissistic or emotional abuse from an intimate partner or other person. Over time, this insight and reflection encourages the patient to become aware of relationship patterns, identify potential abusive relationship behaviors, enact desired changes to their relationship patterns, and ultimately gain a sense of personal agency over their life.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Many people have experienced this. And many still don't understand the long term and far reaching effects it can and does have. Research indicates that emotional abuse can have AT LEAST as detrimental effects as physical abuse. You're not alone. And you're not crazy. And you're not the unlovable person you may have been made to feel like you are. Let's find the you that you are or would have been.

Emotional Abuse
Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.
