Emotional abuse leaves scars that aren’t visible but are deeply felt. Therapy can help clients rebuild trust in themselves, understand what healthy love looks like, and develop tools to recognize and protect their boundaries in the future.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if it's precisely because you're smart, caring, and accommodating that you've been targeted by manipulative people? It's not your fault that people can be untrustworthy, self-serving, harsh, and insensitive.
Narcissists and Sociopaths represent 2% of the population, and they often have children. Growing up with highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents, who may have been caught up in their own mental health challenges, addictions, or abusive relationships can be considered traumatic.
People who've survived narcissistic abuse, upbringings without empathy, or a relentless break-down of your ego can still be successful high-achievers and entrepreneurs. Even after trying everything you can to keep the peace, please them, what if you still feel unsupported by your loved ones?
I specialize in the links between trauma and achievement, as well as family estrangement. Gradually, you'll learn that your preferences and needs matter too. We'll identify your triggers, practice self-regulation strategies, and develop tools for you to connect with your self-worth, establish a sense of safety, and identify trustworthy people.

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.

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.
