Eve Palmatier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse is perhaps the least respected aspect of abuse, and one of the most damaging. It is the emotional abuse which tears a person down and makes them accept mistreatment from others. It's subtle, complicated, and easy to overlook. I do everything I can to support my clients in understanding what loving and safe relationships look like, so they can recognize when they're being mistreated. I have also supported people who realized they could be emotionally abusive towards others, and decided they wanted to become a steadier and more supportive partner. Everyone is capable of change, and everyone deserves to be in relationships where they feel safe.

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.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds—often invisible but profoundly painful. You may question your worth, doubt your perceptions, or struggle with trust and boundaries. In therapy, we focus on rebuilding your sense of safety, confidence, and self-respect. Together, we’ll uncover and heal the impact of manipulation, criticism, or neglect. Using evidence-based trauma therapies, you can learn to release shame, rebuild inner strength, and reclaim your authentic voice.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients who have experienced emotional abuse will internalize abusive messages about themselves, resulting in low self-esteem and a reduced sense of self-worth. I work with clients to help identify the source of harmful beliefs they hold about themselves and to help foster and develop an alternative view of themselves that is affirming and empowering.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in the treatment of emotional abuse, my approach prioritizes creating a safe and validating therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and heal from the effects of abuse. Through trauma-informed therapy modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I help clients process their emotions, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop coping skills to rebuild their sense of self-worth and autonomy. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the dynamics of emotional abuse and support clients in setting boundaries, enhancing self-care practices, and accessing resources for safety and support. Collaboration with other professionals, such as legal advocates or social workers, may also be integrated into the treatment plan to address practical needs and ensure holistic healing. My goal is to empower individuals to reclaim their agency, cultivate resilience, and thrive in relationships characterized by respect and empathy.
