Emotional Abuse
Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
Emotional abuse can have a profound impact on your self-worth, confidence, and happiness. It can cause you to feel worthless, hopeless, isolated, or trapped. You may also suffer from anxiety, depression, or PTSD. I can help you heal from the trauma of emotional abuse and regain your sense of self. My approach is based on a technique called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a method that can help you process challenging experiences and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. It can help you feel more empowered, assertive, and optimistic. I’m a caring and non-judgmental therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your trauma, establish healthy boundaries, and enhance your well-being.

Emotional Abuse
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Healing support for survivors of emotionally abusive, manipulative, coercive, controlling, narcissistic, psychologically harmful, or chronically invalidating relationships. These experiences often leave impacts that extend far beyond the relationship itself, shaping self-trust, identity, nervous system functioning, boundaries, self-worth, and one's relationship with reality.
Emotional abuse can gradually erode confidence in your own thoughts, feelings, perceptions, memories, instincts, and lived experiences. It may show up as chronic self-doubt, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, walking on eggshells, perfectionism, difficulty trusting yourself, over-explaining, self-silencing, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, chronic guilt, difficulty identifying your needs, or feeling disconnected from your own voice and inner knowing. Many of these responses reflect the intelligence of a nervous system that learned to adapt to unpredictability, criticism, manipulation, invalidation, coercion, or emotional unsafety.
This work explores not only what happened within the relationship, but also the ways those experiences may continue to live within the body, nervous system, beliefs, relationships, and sense of self. Attention is given to the influence of attachment experiences, family systems, culture, gender, spirituality, trauma, internalized narratives, and the survival strategies that may have helped you navigate difficult relational environments. Particular care is given to understanding how emotional abuse intersects with neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, race, culture, sexuality, and other identities that may have shaped vulnerability, coping, and meaning-making.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal-informed practices, attachment-focused therapy, parts work and Internal Family Systems (IFS), neuropsychotherapy, expressive arts, narrative therapy, and liberation-oriented healing. Therapy may include exploring patterns of protection, reconnecting with bodily wisdom and intuition, strengthening boundaries, processing traumatic experiences, understanding attachment wounds, reclaiming agency, and developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Healing is not approached as becoming less sensitive, more agreeable, or simply "moving on." It is often about reclaiming trust in your own experiences, reconnecting with your body's signals, honoring your needs and emotions, unlearning harmful messages you may have internalized, and creating enough safety for your voice, boundaries, values, and authentic self to take up space again. The goal is not simply to recover from what happened, but to cultivate relationships with yourself and others that are grounded in mutual respect, authenticity, consent, reciprocity, and care.

Lancaster is the largest city of the Antelope Valley, a high-desert community north of Los Angeles shaped by aerospace employment tied to Edwards Air Force Base and the region's flight-test heritage, alongside families drawn by affordability. Geographic isolation from the LA basin, extreme summer heat, and long commutes for many workers contribute to stress, and the valley has historically had fewer providers than its population needs. Antelope Valley Medical Center and regional clinics anchor care, with telehealth increasingly bridging the distance to LA's larger therapy market.
