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
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.

Emotional Abuse
Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Emotional abuse can be subtle, confusing, and deeply damaging over time. I work with individuals and couples to identify harmful patterns and power dynamics, name what has been happening, and understand the impact on self-worth and the relationship. My approach supports accountability, boundary-setting, repair, and more intentional, respectful ways of relating moving forward.
