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.

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
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
The subtlety of emotional abuse is sometimes hard to see. Having studied it thoroughly, I know it very well and see it clearly and I coach others how to see it sooner. Getting out of a negative relationship, or the cycle of not seeing it, takes a good deal of understanding the nuances of what it is and how it happens. I can help you learn to see it earlier and get yourself out of bad situations sooner and set better boundaries so you don't get abused in the future.
