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
Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Emotional abuse and neglect are often not given the weight they deserve. For many of my clients who have endured several forms of abuse, it is oftentimes the emotional abuse that stays with them for years. 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.

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
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.
