Emotional Abuse
Dr. Nilgun Turkcan Ataoglu, BCT, RDT
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed & Registered Creative Arts Therapist
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize because it often leaves no visible scars. Over time, criticism, manipulation, control, rejection, neglect, or repeated invalidation can profoundly affect self-worth, identity, boundaries, and the ability to trust your own feelings and perceptions.
Therapy offers a safe and non-judgmental space to understand these experiences and how they may continue to shape your relationships and sense of self.
My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and result-oriented, helping you recognize unhealthy patterns, rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with your own needs, voice, and identity—moving toward relationships in which you can feel respected, connected, and authentically yourself.

Emotional Abuse
Esra Nihan Bridge
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Long-term narcissistic abuse usually result in greater suffering, and it takes a long period of time for the victim to process. Upon enduring narcissistic abuse, the survivor usually struggles with a variety of lasting problems: depression, anxiety, trauma, self-blame, low self-esteem, a lost sense of self, restlessness, physical issues, trouble with decision making, and difficulty setting boundaries. Together, we will work through processing trauma, develop healthy relationship skills, and explore trauma-focused approaches such as Brainspotting—a therapeutic technique designed to access, process, and release trauma and emotional pain.
