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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address emotional abuse with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the profound impact it has on an individual's well-being. Grounded in Christian principles, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore the emotional wounds caused by abuse. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, compassion, and the inherent worth of individuals, therapy sessions may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on forgiveness. I collaborate with clients to build resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and foster a sense of empowerment through their faith. While addressing the psychological aspects of emotional abuse, the counselor also guides individuals in seeking spiritual strength and relying on God's grace for healing. This integrated approach aims to support clients in breaking free from the cycle of abuse, restoring their self-worth, and promoting emotional well-being within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in the treatment of emotional abuse, my approach prioritizes creating a safe and validating therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and heal from the effects of abuse. Through trauma-informed therapy modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I help clients process their emotions, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop coping skills to rebuild their sense of self-worth and autonomy. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the dynamics of emotional abuse and support clients in setting boundaries, enhancing self-care practices, and accessing resources for safety and support. Collaboration with other professionals, such as legal advocates or social workers, may also be integrated into the treatment plan to address practical needs and ensure holistic healing. My goal is to empower individuals to reclaim their agency, cultivate resilience, and thrive in relationships characterized by respect and empathy.
