I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from emotional abuse. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space to rebuild self-worth and trust after experiences of manipulation, control, or invalidation. Together, we work to understand the impact of emotional trauma, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools for self-compassion and empowerment. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients regain confidence, rediscover their voice, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

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
Mary Gale Gurnsey
