Dublin, California therapist: Allie Kaelin, marriage and family therapist
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Allie Kaelin

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, APCC
One of the first steps in healing from emotional abuse is recognizing that it has occurred. In therapy, I work with clients to identify the signs of emotional abuse, validating their experiences and helping them build awareness of how these dynamics have affected them. This process can be empowering, as it helps them understand that the pain they’ve experienced is real and deserves to be acknowledged.

Lafayette, California therapist: Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D., psychologist
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can be extremely confusing. It may have taken you a long time to realize that this is what is happening. You may not even be sure, but you don't need to know with any degree of certainty before you see me. Learning to take care of yourself, learning what thoughts and feelings are truly yours (and not those that have been forced upon you), understanding how you got in to this situation and how to get out, and learning how to have healthy relationships going forward...it may be complicated but it is truly liberating.

Emotional Abuse Therapy

Sara Denman

Psychologist, Psy.D
Someone who has suffered emotional abuse often feel shame and isolation. Processing the abuse with a trained therapist helps the pain loose its potency. Emotional abuse comes in many forms and sometimes it is even difficult to understand what was abuse. Therapy can bring insight and coping skills to work through the abuse.

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

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 Therapy

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.

San Francisco, California therapist: Lisa Andresen, licensed clinical social worker
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Lisa Andresen

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if it's precisely because you're smart, caring, and accommodating that you've been targeted by manipulative people? It's not your fault that people can be untrustworthy, self-serving, harsh, and insensitive. Narcissists and Sociopaths represent 2% of the population, and they often have children. Growing up with highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents, who may have been caught up in their own mental health challenges, addictions, or abusive relationships can be considered traumatic. People who've survived narcissistic abuse, upbringings without empathy, or a relentless break-down of your ego can still be successful high-achievers and entrepreneurs. Even after trying everything you can to keep the peace, please them, what if you still feel unsupported by your loved ones? I specialize in the links between trauma and achievement, as well as family estrangement. Gradually, you'll learn that your preferences and needs matter too. We'll identify your triggers, practice self-regulation strategies, and develop tools for you to connect with your self-worth, establish a sense of safety, and identify trustworthy people.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Emotional abuse at the hands of a loved one leaves a scar that no one can see. When you’ve been manipulated, gaslit, and covertly insulted for months or years you can start to lose your sense of self. Even when you have found the strength to end a relationship where you were treated this way, it haunts you. You have difficulty trusting or joyfully engaging with new people. Or maybe this is a relationship that it is not so simple to end. Perhaps it’s a relationship with a parent or sibling. You’re exhausted. You’re tired of walking on eggshells. Whether it’s time to heal from a former relationship, set some boundaries in an existing one, or bring a relationship to an end, therapy can provide you a safe place to process your experiences. Once you get to know yourself again, you can set some much-needed boundaries or say goodbye, whatever is right for you.
