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
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.
