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
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in emotional abuse, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to address emotional trauma. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Trauma can stem from any stressful event that threatens your safety, triggering emotional, psychological, or physical responses that deeply affect your mental health. Unfortunately, many people don't take the time to properly process their trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health issues. My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.

Emotional Abuse
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Emotional abuse is not considered a crime. No one gets arrested for this kind of abuse. The victim has to show bruises and lacerations for an investigation to occur. Clever abusers and predators know this. Rather than beating the body of their victim, they will work with their minds, gaslight them and continue to distort their belief in their own perception of reality. The worst of emotional abuse is that the victim can feel hopeless, abandoned, misunderstood and even worry about being crazy.
