Emotional Abuse
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced emotional abuse, psychological abuse, and relational trauma, including chronic invalidation, manipulation, control, gaslighting, and environments where their emotional reality was consistently dismissed or distorted. Many clients I work with do not initially identify their experiences as “abuse,” but describe feeling confused, anxious in relationships, overly self-critical, or unsure of their own perceptions.
Emotional abuse often leaves a lasting impact on self-trust, boundaries, and identity. Even after leaving the relationship or environment, the nervous system may remain in patterns of hypervigilance, shutdown, or self-doubt.
My approach is trauma-informed and experiential. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to help process the internalized impact of emotional abuse at the level of the nervous system, not just cognitively. These modalities support the resolution of stuck emotional material while helping rebuild a stable internal sense of safety and self-trust.
I also incorporate attachment-focused work and nervous system regulation, particularly for individuals who struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting their own emotions and perceptions. Therapy is paced carefully to ensure that work on painful relational experiences does not feel overwhelming or destabilizing.
Over time, clients often report greater clarity in relationships, improved boundary-setting, and a stronger, more grounded sense of self.

Emotional Abuse
New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Emotional therapy helps you understand, process, and heal from the full range of human feelings—whether it’s sadness, anger, fear, shame, or joy. Often, unresolved emotions from past experiences or trauma can shape how we respond to life today. In therapy, we create a safe, compassionate space to explore these emotions, uncover their roots, and develop healthy ways to express and regulate them. Integrating evidence-based techniques with Christ-centered support, emotional therapy empowers you to gain clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

San Bernardino has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime of any California city, and its therapists frequently work with community-level trauma, economic stress, and the compounding psychological effects of systemic disinvestment — challenges that have intensified through a city bankruptcy, rising homelessness, and limited public resources. The city has a predominantly Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve essential access roles in communities where language barriers and financial precarity limit engagement with conventional mental health services. Arrowhead Regional Medical Center provides the primary institutional mental health anchor for San Bernardino County's most vulnerable populations, with a private therapy community serving the university and suburban corridors. California State University San Bernardino's psychology programs supply some clinical training to the region, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains significantly underserved.
