Emotional Abuse
Tara Lawton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I have worked extensively with individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, whether in childhood, intimate relationships, or other interpersonal settings. Emotional abuse can be difficult to name, but its impact—on self-worth, trust, and emotional regulation—is often profound and long-lasting.
Using a trauma-informed approach, I help clients recognize patterns of abuse, rebuild self-esteem, and establish healthier boundaries. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which can be especially effective in processing and healing from the lingering effects of emotional trauma. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can begin to reclaim their voice, their confidence, and their sense of self.

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
RGV Cross Over Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, M. Ed., LPC (AL), LPC (TX)
Emotional abuse is subtle but may lead to major consequences and destructive relationships. Emotional abuse may have its roots in traumatic experiences and might not be serving your purpose in this season. This pattern does not change until the abusive cycle is broken. You may contact me if you are seeking to break from emotional abuse and form new goals and a new vision. If you are in an abusive and violent relationship, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or if you need immediate help, call 911.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, yet its impact runs deep. Maybe you’ve been made to feel small, controlled, or constantly second-guess yourself. Perhaps you’ve been told that your feelings don’t matter, that you’re “too sensitive,” or that you’re the problem. Over time, this kind of treatment can erode your self-esteem, leave you feeling trapped, and make it hard to trust yourself or others. Even if the abuse is in the past, its effects can linger in the way you see yourself and navigate relationships.
Healing from emotional abuse is about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your experience, rebuild self-trust, and help you step out of survival mode into a life where you feel empowered and in control. You deserve to be heard, respected, and valued—not just by others, but by yourself. It’s possible to move forward, and you don’t have to do it alone.
