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
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults heal from the effects of emotional abuse and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Emotional abuse can leave lasting impacts on self-esteem, trust, emotional well-being, and one's sense of safety and identity. Individuals may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or challenges in future relationships. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and trauma-informed care, I help clients process painful experiences, rebuild self-confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and foster resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can heal, regain their sense of self, and move forward with greater strength and confidence.

Emotional Abuse
Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that affect self-worth, trust, and relationships. Because emotional abuse is often subtle or normalized within families, cultures, or relationships, many individuals struggle to recognize its impact. Therapy provides a space to process these experiences, establish healthy boundaries, rebuild confidence, and develop a stronger sense of self.

Emotional Abuse
Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse often is minimized or not even recognized at all. Which is a bunch of crap that I think we're socially programed to put up with. Screw that. It leaves deep wounds and can wreak havoc in all areas of life. I am very passionate and experienced in this area and want to help you through it.
