Emotional Abuse
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients process the impact of emotional abuse, including criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, control, invalidation, and patterns that have caused them to question themselves or lose confidence. In therapy, we work on understanding what happened, rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries, and reducing the guilt, shame, anxiety, or confusion that can follow emotionally harmful relationships. My goal is to help clients feel clearer, more grounded, and more confident in their ability to protect their well-being.

Emotional Abuse
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Emotional abuse can be subtle, confusing, and deeply destabilizing. It often involves patterns of control, manipulation, gaslighting, invalidation, or chronic criticism that erode a person’s sense of self over time. Many survivors question their own perceptions or minimize their experiences, especially when there are no visible injuries or when care and harm coexist.
In therapy, I offer a space to gently explore your experiences without pressure to label them before you’re ready. Our work focuses on restoring trust in your own reality, understanding how abusive dynamics take shape, and supporting your nervous system as it recovers from chronic relational stress. Therapy is paced, consent-centered, and grounded in compassion—helping you reconnect with your voice, rebuild boundaries, and move toward relationships that feel safe, mutual, and affirming.

Emotional Abuse
Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.

Emotional Abuse
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Unfortunately, more people that we would like to admit have suffered emotional abuse and it has affected their lives negatively. It is at the root of many issues that people come to me for, even if they don't realize it. When we do our initial detailed intake interview, these things quickly come to light. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for resolving or neutralizing past hurts and trauma. many of my clients have continued to suffer, even as traditional therapy has failed to give them relief. Usually, one or two sessions of hypnosis are enough to resolve their trauma and free them. As they emerge from trance, the change is visible as they seem lighter, happier, more relaxed, their faces smoother as the tension leaves their bodies.
