I help survivors understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, including how manipulation, gaslighting, and other tactics are used to exert control and power over them.

Emotional Abuse
Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Emotional abuse can often hide from the outside world, yourself and even your partner. The visciousness of persistently being made to feel unworthy, less-than and self-shame accrues over time, often slowly, beyond obvious awareness. This can make it even more difficult to understand what is going on while adding shame to the idea of admitting and bringing the abuse to light. In therapy, we find where you are and learn about your current level of comfort - moving at your pace to begin to better understand the dynamics and how to build your core in order to shield yourself and shift into a more empowering stance.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
