Emotional Abuse
Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Psychological/emotional abuse, betrayal trauma, coercive control and neglect are often not given the weight they deserve.Emotional abuse can be subtle and deeply damaging, leaving invisible scars that affect your self-worth and relationships. Emotional abuse can cut the sense of yourself, your self-esteem, and your self-worth. The impact of this is significant, often limiting career opportunities, relationships with self and others, and emotional experiences. If you have survived emotional abuse and/or neglect, it is possible to finally heal these wounds and find yourself again. I will help you untangle the complexities of your experiences, develop healthy boundaries, and restore self-esteem.

Emotional Abuse
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced emotional abuse, psychological abuse, and relational trauma, including chronic invalidation, manipulation, control, gaslighting, and environments where their emotional reality was consistently dismissed or distorted. Many clients I work with do not initially identify their experiences as “abuse,” but describe feeling confused, anxious in relationships, overly self-critical, or unsure of their own perceptions.
Emotional abuse often leaves a lasting impact on self-trust, boundaries, and identity. Even after leaving the relationship or environment, the nervous system may remain in patterns of hypervigilance, shutdown, or self-doubt.
My approach is trauma-informed and experiential. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process the internalized impact of emotional abuse at the level of the nervous system, not just cognitively. These modalities support the resolution of stuck emotional material while helping rebuild a stable internal sense of safety and self-trust.
I also incorporate attachment-focused work and nervous system regulation, particularly for individuals who struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting their own emotions and perceptions. Therapy is paced carefully to ensure that work on painful relational experiences does not feel overwhelming or destabilizing.
Over time, clients often report greater clarity in relationships, improved boundary-setting, and a stronger, more grounded sense of self.

Emotional Abuse
Jessi Blank
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
With clients having suffered from emotional abuse, I incorporate not only psychodynamic techniques but also as an informed internal family systems therapist, I help clients to better identify their different "parts" in efforts to allow their true self to help heal the more exiled (vulnerable) parts that can become greatly activated when there has been history of emotional abuse, for example.
