Emotional Abuse
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Emotional abuse can be one of the most detrimental things to endure and can cause significant conflict within individuals, couples, and families. However, this is also an area of abuse that often does not get addressed. It is often rationalized away. I am here to validate the hurtful impacts of emotional abuse, help victims to find their voice, process feelings of guilt and shame, and to help make repairs.

Emotional Abuse
Micha Noble, MA
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency? The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves--the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty.

Emotional Abuse
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that are often invisible to others. Over time, repeated criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, intimidation, control, or emotional neglect can impact your self-esteem, confidence, and ability to trust yourself or others. You may find yourself constantly second-guessing your decisions, walking on eggshells, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or believing that your needs and feelings don't matter.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to help you heal from the effects of emotional abuse. Whether the abuse occurred in a romantic relationship, family, workplace, or another important relationship, therapy can help you process your experiences, recognize unhealthy patterns, and begin rebuilding a stronger sense of self. Using trauma-informed care and evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions, we'll work together to challenge negative beliefs that may have developed through the abuse, regulate overwhelming emotions, strengthen healthy boundaries, and restore your confidence and self-worth.
Healing from emotional abuse is not only about understanding what happened—it's about reclaiming your voice, learning to trust yourself again, and creating relationships built on safety, respect, and mutual support. Throughout therapy, you'll develop practical coping skills, increase emotional resilience, and reconnect with your values, strengths, and personal identity.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Emotional therapy helps you understand, process, and heal from the full range of human feelings—whether it’s sadness, anger, fear, shame, or joy. Often, unresolved emotions from past experiences or trauma can shape how we respond to life today. In therapy, we create a safe, compassionate space to explore these emotions, uncover their roots, and develop healthy ways to express and regulate them. Integrating evidence-based techniques with Christ-centered support, emotional therapy empowers you to gain clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Emotional Abuse
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Emotional abuse is insidious precisely because it leaves no visible marks — and because it works by making you question your own reality. The constant criticism, the gaslighting, the walking on eggshells, the slow erosion of your sense of self until you're not sure who you were before. It counts. It caused real harm. And it can be healed.
I work with survivors of emotional abuse from a trauma-informed, shame-free perspective using EMDR, Flash Technique, and approaches designed to get underneath the self-doubt and the internalized voices that aren't yours to carry anymore. We work to rebuild what was taken — your trust in yourself, your sense of worth, your ability to know what's real.

Emotional Abuse
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can play a valuable role in the treatment of emotional abuse by helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists assist clients in accessing subconscious memories and emotions linked to abuse, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and regain a sense of self-worth. This approach can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience, making it a supportive complement to traditional therapies for emotional abuse recovery.
