Emotional Abuse
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults heal from the effects of emotional abuse and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Emotional abuse can leave lasting impacts on self-esteem, trust, emotional well-being, and one's sense of safety and identity. Individuals may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or challenges in future relationships. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and trauma-informed care, I help clients process painful experiences, rebuild self-confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and foster resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can heal, regain their sense of self, and move forward with greater strength and confidence.

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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.

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.

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.

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
