Emotional Abuse
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Emotional abuse is insidious precisely because it leaves no visible marks — and because it works by making you question your own reality. The constant criticism, the gaslighting, the walking on eggshells, the slow erosion of your sense of self until you're not sure who you were before. It counts. It caused real harm. And it can be healed.
I work with survivors of emotional abuse from a trauma-informed, shame-free perspective using EMDR, Flash Technique, and approaches designed to get underneath the self-doubt and the internalized voices that aren't yours to carry anymore. We work to rebuild what was taken — your trust in yourself, your sense of worth, your ability to know what's real.

Emotional Abuse
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Experiencing emotional abuse can leave you feeling confused, drained, and unsure of your own thoughts or feelings. It can impact your self esteem and the way you relate to others. In therapy we will process what you have been through, rebuild your sense of self, and work on setting healthier boundaries. The goal is to help you feel more confident, more secure, and more in control of your relationships.

Emotional Abuse
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Emotional abuse is not simply conflict, poor communication, or a relationship in which both people occasionally cause harm. It is a pattern that uses criticism, humiliation, intimidation, withdrawal, blame, manipulation, or control to gradually erode another person’s trust in their own perceptions. Over time, the person may become hypervigilant, apologetic, isolated, and increasingly focused on preventing the next reaction, often mistaking survival strategies for personal weakness. Therapy involves naming the pattern without minimizing or manufacturing shared blame, restoring confidence in one’s reality, rebuilding boundaries and agency, and creating a plan for emotional and physical safety when needed. Understanding the person causing harm may provide context, but it does not excuse the impact or replace accountability.
