San Diego, California therapist: Whole Wellness Therapy, marriage and family therapist
Emotional Abuse

Whole Wellness Therapy

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Emotional abuse can take such a toll on a persons life, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. Emotionally abusive relationships can cause a person to question themselves, and everyone around them, which can be extremely isolating, lonely, and scary. Emotional wounds tend to cut even deeper than physical wounds can. It is so important when in an emotionally abusive relationship, or in recovery of one, that we have an ample amount of support, encouragement and perspective on the situation. Our therapists can offer a variety of support to clients in and out of emotionally abusive relationships, and help uncover the root of those who are drawn to these types of relationships, and to those who find themselves contributing to creating them.

Emotional Abuse

Patricia Fahmy

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
If you've experienced emotional abuse, you may find yourself constantly second-guessing yourself, questioning your perceptions, walking on eggshells, or feeling like you've lost confidence in who you are. Even after the relationship ends, the effects often remain. Many survivors struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, anxiety, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from themselves. I help you rebuild your sense of self, strengthen boundaries, process painful experiences, and begin to feel safe, confident, and empowered again.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
