Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Sterling, Illinois IL
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.

Sarah Safron-Chiu
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
In addressing emotional abuse, we will explore attachment patterns and abusive behaviors that oftentimes lead to a repetition compulsion later in life. Current relational patterns including co-dependency, difficulties setting boundaries, and ties to individuals who continue the pattern of emotional injury will be explored, while healthier relationship dynamics and internal healing takes place.
