Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that no one can see, but you feel every day. It often leads to self-doubt, feeling “never good enough,” second-guessing yourself, and living on edge trying to keep others happy. I know from personal experience how confusing and painful it can be to make sense of what you lived through, what you were told about yourself, and how you were treated. Healing is possible. In therapy, we’ll work to understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, why it happens, and how it impacts your nervous system, identity, and relationships. Most importantly, we’ll focus on helping you reclaim your voice, rebuild self-trust, and set boundaries that support healthier connections moving forward.

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.

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.
