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.

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.

Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
You are more than what happened to you. Experiencing emotional or verbal abuse may be part of your story, but it does not have to define you. You are not responsible for someone else's decision to hurt you. You are a someone who experienced something painful. You can heal, grow, and rebuild your life. Healing takes time and may require support. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.
