Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
As a certified EMDR provider, I work with many individuals who are survivors of emotional abuse. My first job out of college was at a residential treatment center in San Francisco for children, many of whom had experienced terrible emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. My work has always included many survivors and I strive to be attuned and supportive throughout the process. I use various modalities in this treatment, including polyvagal approaches, psychodynamic insight-oriented therapy, AEDP (attachment based relational work) and trauma work (most often with EMDR if tolerated).

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to name because there may be no visible marks, yet the impact can be profound. Therapy can help you understand what happened, rebuild your sense of reality and self-trust, and work through the grief, anger, and confusion that often follow emotionally abusive relationships.

Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
Emotional abuse is as damaging than physical/sexual abuse but is often neglected. The impact of emotional abuse is often not understood and has an impact on someone success in life. I often have clients who said to me "I had a wonderful childhood" or even "perfect life" but could not understand why they had such a rocky life. Once we explored the early family dynamic and increased awareness of emotional neglect/abuse it brings a resolution with this gap.

Fufan Chiang
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When you are constantly made to feel like everything is your fault, you start absorbing that blame, losing your sense of reality, and struggling to set basic boundaries. You might find yourself compulsively people-pleasing, overextending your energy, and feeling entirely responsible for your partner's emotions just to keep the peace. Here, you will find a safe, entirely nonjudgmental space to heal from the invisible, heavy toll of these toxic dynamics. We will work to release the internalized self-criticism, restore your boundaries, and help you reconnect with your authentic self.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

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.
