Emotional Abuse Therapy
Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Emotional abuse can often feel more challenging to heal from than physical abuse! It can twist your mind, erode your perception, and leave you fighting hard to think clearly, know who you are, and function interpersonally. Recovery from emotional abuse involves developing a safe relationship with your therapist, learning and understanding the nuances and impacts of emotional abuse, and working towards reconnecting with yourself, your feelings and needs, and your sovereign power and autonomy without shame.

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 cycle of not seeing it this 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.

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.

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.
