Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, including patterns of control, manipulation, gaslighting, and chronic invalidation. My approach focuses on helping clients make sense of their experiences, rebuild trust in their own perceptions, and understand the impact these dynamics have had on their identity and relationships. I support clients in developing clear boundaries, recognizing unhealthy patterns, and responding to manipulative behavior with greater confidence and intention. Together, we work to strengthen self-worth, reduce self-doubt, and create a greater sense of safety, autonomy, and stability moving forward.

Lost & Found Counseling, Jennifer Cranford
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, CAGCS (Advanced Grief Certification) and Brainspotting
Both emotional and spiritual abuse are powerful forms of manipulation that often happen gradually and are many times not recognized until later in a relationship. Sometimes spiritual abuse will happen at the hands of a revered church leader or inside a group that has become your community. Emotional and spiritual abuse effects can also create great confusion as mental games are played and you can wonder if you are the one who is in the wrong. Do you stay or go? Do you set limits? Do you expose those who have who have used their authority over you to control you? In therapy we will explore your questions and consider steps for regaining your independence.

Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Victims or perpetrators of emotional abuse are stuck in an abusive dynamic which most likely began before this relationship (in the case of adults) and will determine future relationships (in the case of kids). I work with recognizing this dynamic, uncovering deeper wounds, and providing tools.

Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Emotional abuse is a form of complex trauma. It leaves deep marks on the nervous system, identity, and sense of safety. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently untangle the fear, shame, confusion, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported as you reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your life. I teach you interpersonal effectiveness skills that can help you identify and avoid emotional abuse in the future.

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.

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.

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Emotional abuse can deeply impact self-worth, emotional safety, trust, and identity. Many people who have experienced emotional abuse begin doubting themselves, minimizing their pain, or feeling disconnected from their own needs and intuition. Therapy helps clients rebuild self-trust, process the impact of harmful relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with their sense of worth and voice.

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.

Melissa Kummer Dague
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Abuse of any kind should never happen, but when it does, therapy can be a valuable tool in healing. I began my career at a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter, and am trained in evidence based trauma modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to best address the needs of those impacted by violence.

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.

Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
