Emotional Abuse
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
When a person is in a relationship, personal or professional, it is sometimes hard for that person to notice emotional abuse until it becomes severe or someone else notices that it is happening. This is not the client's fault, emotional abuse usually starts very subtly with harsh comments or shutting down but these behaviors are often attributed to a bad day. Over time when a person hears harsh comments enough times they start to believe them. Therapy for emotional abuse is in part helping client's recognize emotional abuse and try to set boundaries, if it is safe to do so. Then we will work to desensitize, reframe, and replace those harsh comments with positive beliefs while increasing the client's sense of self-worth.

Emotional Abuse
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Experiencing emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds that aren’t always visible—but they are real and valid. In therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to untangle the effects of gaslighting, control, and chronic invalidation. Together, we’ll focus on restoring your sense of self, establishing healthy boundaries, and rebuilding confidence using trauma-informed techniques and self-empowerment practices. You deserve to feel safe, respected, and whole again.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, particularly when it has developed gradually within a relationship. I help clients identify unhealthy patterns such as manipulation, control, gaslighting, intimidation, and chronic criticism, while working on boundaries, self-trust, and deciding what a healthier path forward looks like.
