Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can leave you questioning yourself, walking on eggshells, or feeling responsible for someone else’s moods, criticism, silence, or control. It may show up through manipulation, gaslighting, blame-shifting, intimidation, humiliation, unhealthy boundaries, or repeated patterns that slowly wear down your confidence and sense of self. In therapy, I help clients make sense of these confusing dynamics, rebuild trust in their own perceptions, and strengthen boundaries in a supportive, affirming space. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life, with a focus on helping you regain clarity, self-respect, and emotional safety.

Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
Emotional Abuse can be very difficult to heal from. Feelings of self worth and invalidation and devaluation can be debilitating. Addressing this in therapy can allow for increased self worth, understanding of the situation including why you might have been in the relationship, and understanding of your own attachment concerns.

Emotional Abuse
Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Emotional abuse can be one of the hardest things to name — because it so rarely looks the way people expect abuse to look. There are no visible marks. There are no dramatic moments that are easy to point to. Instead, there is a slow erosion. A relationship that made you question your memory, your perception, your worth. A voice in your head that sounds a lot like someone else's. A version of yourself you barely recognize anymore.
Maybe you've been told you're too sensitive. Maybe you spent years walking on eggshells, managing someone else's moods, shrinking yourself to keep the peace. Maybe you left and still find yourself defending them — or wondering if what happened was really that bad. That confusion isn't weakness. It's one of the most common and painful hallmarks of emotional abuse.
At Love Let Out, we work with survivors who are trying to find their footing after relationships that left them doubting themselves. We understand the complicated grief that comes with loving someone who hurt you. We understand why it's hard to leave, hard to stay gone, and hard to trust yourself again afterward.
Our work is trauma-informed and goes at your pace. We won't push you to label your experience before you're ready or tell you how to feel about the person who hurt you. We will help you reconnect with your own sense of reality, rebuild your confidence from the inside out, and begin to trust yourself again — maybe for the first time in a long time.
What happened to you was real. And you deserve a space where that is never questioned.

Emotional Abuse
Kristin Wright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Were you criticized heavily as a child? Did you feel worthless growing up? Or have you been in a relationship where you were gas lighted and treated poorly. Emotional abuse is often a silent form of trauma that most don't recognize until they are much older. However, it can lead to low self-esteem, perfectionism, struggles in relationships later in life, and even PTSD. With many years of experiences working with abuse survivors, I strive to create a safe environment for them to process their traumatic past and learn to love the strong and courageous person that they are.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, LCMHC

Emotional Abuse
Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Emotional abuse is often subtle, confusing, and difficult to name. Many clients minimize their experiences or question whether what they are going through “counts.” Over time, this can lead to self-doubt, hypervigilance, and a loss of trust in your own perceptions.
Therapy provides a space to clearly identify harmful patterns, rebuild your sense of reality and self-trust, and develop boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.

Emotional Abuse
Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sometimes abuse that doesn't leave a physical mark hurts us the deepest. Unfortunately, many people minimize abusive behaviors as "not a big deal" or "not really abuse." If a significant person in your life regularly withheld affection, called you names, gaslighted you, made everything your fault, and made you feel terrible about yourself, this is abuse and it does cause significant harm. I can help you find true healing from these experiences so that you don't have to keep carrying this around.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
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.
