Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Emotional abuse can quietly reshape how you see yourself and the world around you. Over time, criticism, manipulation, or invalidation can become internalized, making self-doubt, shame, or harsh inner voices feel like facts rather than the impact of harm.
From a trauma-informed perspective, these patterns are understandable responses to prolonged relational injury. In therapy, we work gently to untangle what was learned in order to survive from what truly belongs to you, supporting a reconnection with your own voice, worth, and inner clarity.
Using approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we address the emotional and nervous-system effects of emotional abuse at a pace that feels safe and respectful. This work also informs my writing, including Gaslighting: A Step-by-Step Recovery Guide to Heal from Emotional Abuse and Build Healthy Relationships. Healing is possible, and you are worthy of care, compassion, and support.

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.
