Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I support individuals who have experienced emotional or psychological abuse in relationships, families, or other environments. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with trauma, personality dynamics, and complex relational patterns in both community mental health and private practice, I help clients rebuild self-worth, strengthen boundaries, and process the lasting impact of manipulation and control. My approach is compassionate, empowering, and trauma-informed, providing a clear path toward healing, confidence, and healthier relationships.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from emotional abuse. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space to rebuild self-worth and trust after experiences of manipulation, control, or invalidation. Together, we work to understand the impact of emotional trauma, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools for self-compassion and empowerment. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients regain confidence, rediscover their voice, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting
Psychologist, Ph.D
Emotional abuse can leave invisible scars — confusion, self-doubt, and feeling like “maybe it wasn’t that bad.” It was. We help you identify abusive dynamics, rebuild trust in yourself, and learn how to set boundaries that keep you emotionally safe. You deserve relationships that feel mutual, respectful, and safe.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
Emotional abuse if often much harder to identify than physical, although most ACoAs experience both. It includes all the cruel ways we were talked to, and all the loving ways that were NOT provided. (Blog : 2012)

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Developing a close relationship with someone who displays narcissistic tendencies can result in trauma and pain. If you believe you have experienced narcissistic abuse from a parent, a partner, a friend, or another close entity, you may have noticed daily or near-daily dread, brain fog, panic, helplessness, and powerlessness. You may feel shame, self-doubt, and confusion alongside a tendency to blame yourself for all the ways this relationship feels wrong. You may feel that you’ve lost touch with your former confidence and vitality, as though both you and your world have shrunk under the shadow of this relationship. You may continue to feel deep longing and love for a person you know has harmed you.
At PCT, we are here to validate and witness your journey to healing. We will work with you to address the acute emotional and somatic symptoms of narcissistic abuse no matter where you are in your healing process. We will cultivate compassion for all the parts of you that have emerged throughout this struggle. We’ll walk with you as you gather the pieces of yourself and put them back together. We will help you build a strong foundation that can’t be rocked, and a home in yourself where you can know peace and acceptance.
