Amanda Kohl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, CTP
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, but its impact runs deep. You may find yourself second-guessing your reality, feeling anxious in relationships, or struggling to trust your own thoughts and emotions. I help women process the effects of emotional abuse so they can rebuild self-trust, feel grounded in their truth, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Le’ Isaac Gardner Msc.D. CTHT ORDM
Hypnotherapist, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, MSc.D. Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist CTHT
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.

Emotional Abuse
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that are often invisible to others. Over time, repeated criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, intimidation, control, or emotional neglect can impact your self-esteem, confidence, and ability to trust yourself or others. You may find yourself constantly second-guessing your decisions, walking on eggshells, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or believing that your needs and feelings don't matter.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to help you heal from the effects of emotional abuse. Whether the abuse occurred in a romantic relationship, family, workplace, or another important relationship, therapy can help you process your experiences, recognize unhealthy patterns, and begin rebuilding a stronger sense of self. Using trauma-informed care and evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions, we'll work together to challenge negative beliefs that may have developed through the abuse, regulate overwhelming emotions, strengthen healthy boundaries, and restore your confidence and self-worth.
Healing from emotional abuse is not only about understanding what happened—it's about reclaiming your voice, learning to trust yourself again, and creating relationships built on safety, respect, and mutual support. Throughout therapy, you'll develop practical coping skills, increase emotional resilience, and reconnect with your values, strengths, and personal identity.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
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.

Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
Relationships have the power to deeply nurture us, but they can also leave lasting emotional wounds. If you’ve experienced patterns of control, criticism, inconsistency, or feeling unseen or unsafe in a relationship, you may find yourself questioning your needs, your reactions, or even your sense of reality.
In our work together, we’ll focus on restoring clarity and self-trust. Rather than minimizing or dismissing what you’ve been through, we’ll take time to understand how these relational experiences have shaped your emotional world, your boundaries, and your sense of self.
At the heart of this process is a shift away from self-blame and toward understanding. We’ll explore your responses as meaningful adaptations and signals pointing to deeper needs for safety, respect, and connection, while also supporting you in developing a stronger, more grounded relationship with yourself.

Clearwater is a Pinellas County city on Tampa Bay that serves as the international headquarters of the Church of Scientology, a presence that gives the city a distinctive character unlike any other of its size in the United States and creates unique mental health considerations—the city's downtown is heavily occupied by Scientology organizations, and the community dynamics around current members, Sea Org workers, and those navigating departure from the church create specific needs for therapists familiar with high-control religious groups. Beyond the Scientology context, Clearwater is a popular Gulf Coast retirement destination and a growing healthcare and tech community, and its beautiful Gulf beaches support a strong tourism and hospitality economy. Morton Plant Hospital's behavioral health services and a private therapy sector serve the broader community. Common therapy concerns include religious deconstruction and recovery from high-control group involvement, retiree adjustment and aging, anxiety, depression, and the relationship and family strains that arise in a community divided by one of its most prominent institutions.
