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.

Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
Growing up with emotional abuse causes issues with self-esteem, relationships and physical health, yet it is often minimized. We are encouraged to "get over it" and forgive people who very often are not asking for forgiveness. Whether you are estranged from your family or are struggling with how establish boundaries, I help you get in touch with the very real impact of emotional abuse and provide a safe and validating place to heal.

Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
When we are trapped inside toxic relationship cycles, we often come to a point where we feel like there is no way out—especially if we keep on recreating the same toxic patterns with the people around us. The first step to breaking free is to understand that you have the power to get out and save yourself from destructive patterns so you can live your life in the healthiest, most authentic way possible. It is never too late to ask for help, and my therapy approach involves giving you the guidance and support you need to identify these toxic relationships in your life so you can start building healthy, mindful connections. We will work together to discover how you can break the cycle, rework, and nurture your relationships by identifying the root cause of these unhealthy patterns. This could involve pinpointing traumatic childhood experiences like neglectful or abusive behaviors from emotionally immature or narcissistic parents and other authority figures in your life. Once you’ve recognized where these dysfunctional patterns come from, we will work toward getting rid of harmful belief systems like constant self-blaming or feeling as if you are a bad person, so you can begin to prioritize your well-being. We can then work on rebuilding your self-esteem, setting your emotional and mental boundaries, and learning how to better regulate your emotions. Breaking away from these patterns will eventually give you the peace of mind you need to finally start loving yourself so that you feel worthy of good treatment. That is the first step in creating and nurturing positive relationships while living a life that’s free from emotional pain and trauma-induced vicious cycles. - - - "There is no normal life that is free of pain. The very wrestling with our problems provides the impetus for growth." Fred Rogers
