Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who have been in relationships where their feelings, needs, or perceptions were dismissed, minimized, or used against them. Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to name, especially when the relationship also included care, love, or periods of calm. You might relate to feeling confused about what was “real,” wondering if you were too sensitive or overreacting, replaying conversations in your head, or changing your behavior to avoid criticism, withdrawal, or the silent treatment. For many people, these patterns started young, in families where you had to stay tuned in to other people’s moods, keep the peace, or be “easy” so things didn’t get worse. Experiences like this can leave a long imprint: second‑guessing yourself, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, bracing for criticism even when nothing is wrong, or working hard to stay acceptable so conflict doesn’t escalate. You may find yourself feeling small in relationships, even when you are competent and grounded in other areas of your life. Over time, these patterns can shape your sense of self, your nervous system, and what you believe you are allowed to expect from others. In our work together, we make space for what you went through and how it lives in your body and relationships now, and we explore what it means to move forward with more clarity, self‑trust, and choice.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that no one can see, but you feel every day. It often leads to self-doubt, feeling “never good enough,” second-guessing yourself, and living on edge trying to keep others happy. I know from personal experience how confusing and painful it can be to make sense of what you lived through, what you were told about yourself, and how you were treated. Healing is possible. In therapy, we’ll work to understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, why it happens, and how it impacts your nervous system, identity, and relationships. Most importantly, we’ll focus on helping you reclaim your voice, rebuild self-trust, and set boundaries that support healthier connections moving forward.

Stamford is Connecticut's most economically dynamic city and a major center for hedge funds, financial services, and media companies, with a population that is more diverse than its wealthy reputation might suggest—including significant Black, Latino, and immigrant communities alongside the finance professionals who define the city's public image. The high-pressure finance and media industry culture creates substantial mental health demand around burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the relational difficulties that come with demanding careers and high financial expectations. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Stamford's affluent professional class, while community health organizations address the mental health needs of lower-income residents in parts of the city that are far less prosperous than the downtown core. Common therapy concerns range from anxiety and burnout at the top of the economic spectrum to trauma, economic stress, and access barriers at the bottom, reflecting a city of pronounced contrasts.
