Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.

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.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have learned to defer to others, feeling like a burden if they consider and try to communicate their needs or limits. These folks have learned to betray themselves in order to preserve their attachments, often leading to tolerating emotionally abusive behavior. These clients often feel resentment, burnout, anxiety and depression, and are working on stepping into their power and agency to detach from abusive relationships.

Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
If you are presenting to counseling for this issue, I recommend you do not tell the person you see as targeting you that you are seeking help. Emotional abuse may be a type of domestic violence. Or it may be a way a family member, partner, work colleague, boss, or friend interacts. There are different forms of emotional abuse and there may be things you can do. However, if this is persistent focused emotional abuse from someone -- and it is domestic violence -- it is not an anger problem, but a belief system that everything exists for their use. I will have a better idea when we talk. There may be things you can do, there may be plans you can make for changes. How much it affects you is key to planning.

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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in the treatment of emotional abuse, my approach prioritizes creating a safe and validating therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and heal from the effects of abuse. Through trauma-informed therapy modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I help clients process their emotions, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop coping skills to rebuild their sense of self-worth and autonomy. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the dynamics of emotional abuse and support clients in setting boundaries, enhancing self-care practices, and accessing resources for safety and support. Collaboration with other professionals, such as legal advocates or social workers, may also be integrated into the treatment plan to address practical needs and ensure holistic healing. My goal is to empower individuals to reclaim their agency, cultivate resilience, and thrive in relationships characterized by respect and empathy.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Emotional abuse can be overt or covert. Hypnotherapy, Heart Centered Breathwork, and Emotional Release work can get to the source of emotional abuse. Usually in a family dynamic where abuse and trauma are present, the obvious abuse from one of the caregivers is the first to do emotional release work on. The caregiver dishing out covert emotional abuse flies under the radar. They may be the one that does nothing to help the child for fear of what the other caregiver will do. That is just as damaging to the person but in a more subtle way. Emotional abuse also happens when one gets involved with a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath with gas lighting, ghosting, etc. Another specialty of mine is working with clients that are in relationship with a narcissist & sociopaths as the abuse is so unsettling and covert that the client thinks its their fault for being emotionally abused. My job is to help you pull back the curtain to the Wizard of Oz just to find the real person behind the curtain and realize you don't deserve such manipulative treatment.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lingering wounds—confusion, self-doubt, anxiety, and a feeling of never being “enough.” Whether it came from a partner, family member, or past relationship, the impact often shows up long after the abuse has ended. You may find yourself questioning your reality, struggling with your self-worth, or feeling stuck in patterns you didn’t choose.
In therapy, we’ll work together to rebuild your sense of safety, autonomy, and trust in yourself. I help clients understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, recognize the subtle ways it affects thoughts and behavior, and develop boundaries that protect their peace. Our work is focused on healing, empowerment, and reconnecting you with the strengths that may have been overshadowed. You deserve relationships—and a life—where you feel respected, supported, and emotionally secure. I’m here to help you move toward that.

Esra Nihan Bridge
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Long-term narcissistic abuse usually result in greater suffering, and it takes a long period of time for the victim to process. Upon enduring narcissistic abuse, the survivor usually struggles with a variety of lasting problems: depression, anxiety, trauma, self-blame, low self-esteem, a lost sense of self, restlessness, physical issues, trouble with decision making, and difficulty setting boundaries. Together, we will work through processing trauma, develop healthy relationship skills, and explore trauma-focused approaches such as Brainspotting—a therapeutic technique designed to access, process, and release trauma and emotional pain.

Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’. Healing emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that affect self-worth, trust, and relationships. Because emotional abuse is often subtle or normalized within families, cultures, or relationships, many individuals struggle to recognize its impact. Therapy provides a space to process these experiences, establish healthy boundaries, rebuild confidence, and develop a stronger sense of self.
