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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Under the guise of trauma focused therapy, the more subtle and therefore sometimes most confusing aspects of emotional abuse can become critical to unwind and understand both in the context of past childhood experiences with immature caregivers, how these experiences can inform the choice of romantic partners later in life and how to move past these patterns and expectations to allow for growth and freedom from relationships that detract rather than add.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Emotional abuse is not considered a crime. No one gets arrested for this kind of abuse. The victim has to show bruises and lacerations for an investigation to occur. Clever abusers and predators know this. Rather than beating the body of their victim, they will work with their minds, gaslight them and continue to distort their belief in their own perception of reality. The worst of emotional abuse is that the victim can feel hopeless, abandoned, misunderstood and even worry about being crazy.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can be so painful. It locks us into negative self talk. EMDR, psychodynamic work and STAIR/NST are great approaches to address it. I help clients process through their painful experiences by offering them sensitivity and empathy. I help clients develop more effective ways of seeing themselves and their past.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced emotional abuse (and/or other types of abuse) in their relationships. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the trauma they have been experiencing and help navigate the paths they would like to take to move forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
I help individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, manipulation, or chronic invalidation—whether in childhood, relationships, or authority structures. These experiences often shape self-doubt, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting one’s own perceptions. Therapy focuses on rebuilding internal stability, correcting distorted self-beliefs, and restoring a grounded sense of agency and self-respect.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience supporting clients who have experienced emotional abuse in a variety of contexts, including intimate relationships and family systems. Emotional abuse can be deeply damaging, often leaving individuals feeling confused, isolated, self-doubting, and disconnected from their own sense of reality and worth. It can be especially complex when it occurs within relationships that are ongoing or difficult to fully separate from.
Much of my work in this area focuses on helping clients make sense of toxic or unhealthy relational dynamics and begin to name what has happened to them with greater clarity and self-trust. For many clients, this also includes exploring parental emotional abuse and the lasting impact it can have on identity, attachment, and self-esteem, particularly when cultural or family expectations may influence how relationships are maintained or understood.
I approach this work with deep care and validation, with the intention of helping clients feel less alone and more grounded in their own experience. Together, we work toward rebuilding a sense of internal safety, strengthening self-trust, and moving out of the confusion and darkness that emotional abuse can create.
Healing in this space often involves clarifying boundaries in relationships and exploring what connection or distance may feel healthiest and most supportive for the client. These decisions are deeply personal and can be complex, and I remain present with clients as they navigate them at their own pace.
Ultimately, this work involves both understanding what has happened and actively rebuilding from within- developing healthier boundaries, reconnecting with one’s voice, and cultivating a stronger, more compassionate relationship with oneself.
