Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Altamonte Springs, Florida FL

Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) is the model that appeals to me most for both individual and group marital therapy. According to Johnson (2007), “A focus on emotional processing in the present moment, on process factors and on genuine empathic connection with both clients is at the heart of the model” (p. 47). It has been my experience over many years that EFT has achieved optimum outcomes where emotional abuse has been experience in multifaceted circumstances.  

Fransheska Cardona-Leon, LCSW has advanced training in emotional abuse.  

Emotional abuse is one of the hardest types of abuse to spot in current times. It may go unrecognized by friends, family, and a lot of times even by the victim. When we start to finally feel these things it has already begun to hit us very hard. Let me help you to understand why this has happened to you, show you how to learn from it, and create a new positive outlook.  

The approaches I use with emotional abuse include: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  

Emotional abuse can be just as harmful as physical abuse, although society is slowly catching on to this fact. Emotional abuse is one of my areas of interest and I've done research on it and its effects on our mental health. Specifically, emotional abuse from parents who may also have a diagnosable personality disorder. We will work together to identify the hurtful patterns that exist, help you heal and untwist some of the damage, and help you determine how to continue interacting safely with the abuser or cut contact all together.
