Emotional Abuse
Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Emotional abuse — especially from a narcissistic partner or parent — can leave you questioning your worth, your memories, and even your sanity. Many of my clients grew up with criticism, manipulation, or constant blame, and later found themselves repeating those painful patterns in adult relationships. In therapy, I help you untangle the confusion, recognize the ways you’ve been controlled, and separate your true self from the voice of the abuser. Over time, you can rebuild confidence, set boundaries without guilt, and begin to trust your own feelings again.

Emotional Abuse
Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can be so painful. It locks us into negative self talk. EMDR, psychodynamic work and STAIR/NST are great approaches to address it. I help clients process through their painful experiences by offering them sensitivity and empathy. I help clients develop more effective ways of seeing themselves and their past.

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. Rebeca Meléndez
Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC
Emotional abuse is one of the hardest forms of abuse to recognize as it can be subtle and insidious. As a result, it can be extremely hard to detect the signs.But it can also be overt and manipulative. Either way, emotional abuse can chip away at your self-esteem, and you can begin to doubt your perceptions and reality. In the end, you may feel trapped. You may tell yourself "it's not that bad" and minimize the other person's behavior because it doesn't involve physical assault, so you may not consider it abuse. However, everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, including you. Realizing this can help you stop the emotional abuse cycle. As your therapist, I will guide you through your healing process and help you feel like yourself again, strong, assertive, resilient and empowered.
