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.

Smee Wellness LLC

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.

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.

Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
Abuse is a complicated issue within a family because it usually involves both love and inappropriate behaviors. Clients feel mixed emotions. I provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment in which you can work through your thoughts and feelings to make the best decisions for you.

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.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, especially when there’s no yelling, hitting, or clear line that’s been crossed. It often shows up as manipulation, gaslighting, control, or constant criticism—leaving you doubting your own feelings, questioning your worth, or walking on eggshells in your own relationships.
If you're starting to wonder whether what you’ve experienced was abuse, or if you're trying to heal from the impact of someone who chipped away at your confidence over time, I can help. You don’t have to justify your pain or prove that it was “bad enough.” If it hurt you, that’s enough.
In therapy, we’ll work to rebuild your self-trust, identify the patterns you’ve internalized, and create a new sense of safety in your relationships—with others and with yourself. Healing from emotional abuse is possible, and you deserve support that helps you move forward without shame.

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.

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.

I work with individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, including patterns of manipulation, control, or invalidation that can impact self-esteem and emotional well-being. Emotional abuse is often less visible but can have lasting effects on how individuals view themselves and relate to others. Treatment focuses on increasing self-awareness, rebuilding a sense of identity, and developing healthier coping strategies. I utilize a trauma-informed approach, incorporating talk therapy and offering EMDR when appropriate to support processing and healing.

San Antonio is one of the largest military cities in the country, home to Fort Sam Houston, Joint Base San Antonio–Lackland, and Randolph AFB, generating exceptionally strong demand for therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, and the challenges of military family life including frequent relocation and deployment stress. The city has a majority Hispanic population, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists and culturally grounded care for Latino families are consistently in high demand. University Health and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System provide major institutional mental health services alongside a large private practice community. San Antonio's strong Catholic faith tradition also means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based care.
