If you are currently experiencing emotional abuse, or are a survivor of emotional abuse, you may feel deeply lonely, confused, and invalidated. Emotional abuse can be debilitating and difficult to explain to others, especially because there are no visible scars. Many people find it hard to put their experience into words or feel misunderstood by friends and family.
I want you to know that I see you, I believe you, and I recognize your pain. You are not alone. I am here to support you as you work toward healing, safety, and reclaiming your sense of self away from abuse.

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.

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.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Unfortunately, more people that we would like to admit have suffered emotional abuse and it has affected their lives negatively. It is at the root of many issues that people come to me for, even if they don't realize it. When we do our initial detailed intake interview, these things quickly come to light. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for resolving or neutralizing past hurts and trauma. many of my clients have continued to suffer, even as traditional therapy has failed to give them relief. Usually, one or two sessions of hypnosis are enough to resolve their trauma and free them. As they emerge from trance, the change is visible as they seem lighter, happier, more relaxed, their faces smoother as the tension leaves their bodies.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Many times people have told me that being emotionally abused was harder to heal from than if they had been physically abused. When someone tears down our psyche and how we feel about ourselves the road to recovery is difficult and sometimes lengthy but the arrival at emotional restoration is incredibly rewarding.

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.

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.

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: Reclaiming Your Reality
Healing the Invisible Wounds of the Soul
Emotional abuse is often a "silent" trauma. Because there are no physical scars, survivors frequently find themselves trapped in a cycle of self-doubt, wondering if they are "too sensitive" or if the harm is "all in their head." In my practice, I provide a courageous and affirming space to name the harm, validate your experience, and begin the work of deconstructing the psychological "fog" of abuse.
The Anatomy of Emotional Harm
Emotional abuse is a systematic erosion of a person's sense of self. We work together to identify and heal from patterns of:
Gaslighting & Reality Disturbance: Addressing the profound confusion and overwhelm that occurs when your perception of truth is constantly undermined.
The "Fawn" Response: Understanding why your nervous system may have defaulted to people-pleasing or self-silencing as a survival strategy to avoid conflict.
Chronic Burnout & Shut Down: Healing the exhaustion that comes from living in a state of constant hyper-vigilance, always waiting for the "other shoe to drop."
A Clinical Path to Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, I use a trauma-informed, systemic approach to help you rebuild:
EMDR for Traumatic Memories: We use EMDR to process the specific "stuck" moments of verbal or emotional assault that continue to trigger rejection sensitivity or fear in your current life.
Attachment Repair: We explore how the "system" of the relationship functioned and work to rebuild your attachment to your own intuition and boundaries.
Spiritual & Systemic Deconstruction: For those coming out of high-control religious or social systems, we address the specific ways that power and "divine" authority may have been used as tools of emotional control.
Breaking the Silence
I have an extensive background in working with healers, pastors, and leaders who have experienced emotional abuse within their professional or personal systems. Whether you are currently in the relationship or are years into your "after," you deserve a space that is curious, brave, and entirely yours.
Healing is not just about leaving the situation; it is about returning to yourself.

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.
