Emotional Abuse
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients who have experienced emotional abuse, I provide a safe and validating environment for them to explore their feelings and experiences. Through therapy, we work together to process the impact of emotional abuse on their self-esteem, sense of worth, and overall well-being. I offer validation, helping patients recognize that their experiences are real and valid. We explore coping strategies to manage the emotional aftermath of abuse, such as setting boundaries, building self-confidence, and developing healthy relationships. Additionally, I provide education about emotional abuse dynamics and help patients identify and challenge any distorted beliefs or negative patterns that may have resulted from the abuse. My goal is to empower patients to heal from the effects of emotional abuse, regain their sense of agency and self-worth, and move forward in their lives with resilience and strength.

Emotional Abuse
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Whether someone is a perpetrator of emotional abuse or a victim of it, a Rapid Transformational Therapy session helps a person to identify why they would feel the need to manipulate or control someone else by finding the source or belief driving the behavior, which is based in a person's past experiences and relationships. Someone who is a victim of emotional abuse can benefit from a session if they suffered from low self-esteem, anxiety, etc from it. The beliefs and patterns that drive the behaviors are identified, reframed, and removed in hypnosis, while healthier and more positive beliefs are suggested and "installed" using a bespoke personal transformation recording to replace them.

Emotional Abuse
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, especially when there are no visible scars and the harm unfolded slowly over time. Many people come to therapy feeling confused, doubting themselves, or wondering if they’re “overreacting.” In our work together, I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are taken seriously and your reality is respected. We focus on helping you make sense of what happened, rebuild trust in your perceptions, and understand the emotional patterns that may still be lingering in your body and relationships.
Therapy for emotional abuse is not about pushing you to relive the past or rushing you toward forgiveness. It’s about restoring your sense of self. Gently and at your pace, we work on strengthening boundaries, easing shame, and reconnecting you with your inner voice. As clarity grows, many clients find they feel more grounded, more confident, and better able to choose relationships that feel safe, mutual, and supportive.
