San Francisco, California therapist: Susanna La, psychologist
Emotional Abuse

Susanna La

Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience emotional abuse, we come up with creative ways of coping to try to get our needs met or even to disconnect from those needs. The creative coping strategies we develop as children tend to stay with us into adulthood, especially if we haven’t developed new coping skills. Without awareness of the impacts of our pain, we tend to replicate patterns of people pleasing, hyper-independence, perfectionism, lack of boundaries, and seeking emotionally unavailable/painful relationships.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
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.

I help people who have experienced emotional abuse reconnect with their own voice, needs, and sense of worth after long periods of being dismissed, controlled, or minimized. Together, we gently untangle the impact of those dynamics—shame, self‑doubt, confusion, and the lingering pull of old patterns—so you can understand what happened with clarity and compassion. My approach is steady, relational, and deeply affirming, supporting you as you rebuild trust in yourself and create relationships that feel safe, mutual, and respectful.

Menlo Park, California therapist: J. Rosalyn Diehl, licensed mental health counselor
Emotional Abuse

J. Rosalyn Diehl

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Emotional abuse, especially narcissistic abuse, can be difficult to recognize and often leaves lasting effects on self-esteem, trust, and relationship patterns. These experiences may involve gaslighting, manipulation, chronic criticism, emotional invalidation, or feeling as though your needs and feelings are consistently minimized. Over time, you may find yourself questioning your perceptions, struggling with boundaries, or feeling unsure of your own needs. I help clients process these experiences, rebuild confidence and self-worth, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
