Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Emotional abuse is insidious. The more we take it, the more we feel like we deserve it, or worse, brought it on ourselves. There is a huge wound to our sense of who we are and what we deserve. But this can be healed with support, kindest and mindfulness in a deeply supportive environment.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

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.
