Emotional Abuse
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’. Healing emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Emotional Abuse
Alice Barton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Part of the domestic abuse/violence dynamic, emotional abuse is one form of intimate partner violence. Emotional abuse can be confusing, keeping the woman locked in a cycle of battering, building and beautiful gifts. I have worked with hundreds of women at various stages in their relationships to help them build their self esteem so they can make the best decision for themselves and their children.

Emotional Abuse
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
If you've experienced emotional abuse, you may find yourself constantly second-guessing yourself, questioning your perceptions, walking on eggshells, or feeling like you've lost confidence in who you are.
Even after the relationship ends, the effects often remain.
Many survivors struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from themselves.
I help you rebuild your sense of self, strengthen boundaries, process painful experiences, and begin to feel safe, confident, and empowered again.

Emotional Abuse
Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
For many people who have lived with emotional abuse, a therapeutic relationship is the first safe relationship they have. It is understandable to build trust over time at a pace your nervous system dictates, and I feel honored to do this work and walk beside you on this journey.
Emotional abuse sometimes produces symptoms of PTSD. EMDR, which I am extensively trained in, and other therapies can significantly reduce these symptoms.

Scottsdale's affluence and wellness-oriented culture generate consistently high demand for therapy, with a population that generally views mental health care favorably and has the financial means to engage in longer-term work — making it one of the most therapist-dense cities in Arizona. The city's luxury resort industry and reputation as a destination for high-net-worth retirees and second-home owners create a distinctive therapy clientele, with practitioners frequently addressing relationship complexity, identity in retirement, wealth-related stress, and the gap between external success and internal wellbeing. HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic Phoenix provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of Arizona's most established private practice communities. Scottsdale's significant recovery community — drawn by the concentration of high-end treatment centers in the surrounding Sonoran Desert — also drives substantial demand for therapists specializing in addiction aftercare and dual diagnosis work.
