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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can play a valuable role in the treatment of emotional abuse by helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists assist clients in accessing subconscious memories and emotions linked to abuse, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and regain a sense of self-worth. This approach can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience, making it a supportive complement to traditional therapies for emotional abuse recovery.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced emotional abuse (and/or other types of abuse) in their relationships. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the trauma they have been experiencing and help navigate the paths they would like to take to move forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Developing a close relationship with someone who displays narcissistic tendencies can result in trauma and pain. If you believe you have experienced narcissistic abuse from a parent, a partner, a friend, or another close entity, you may have noticed daily or near-daily dread, brain fog, panic, helplessness, and powerlessness. You may feel shame, self-doubt, and confusion alongside a tendency to blame yourself for all the ways this relationship feels wrong. You may feel that you’ve lost touch with your former confidence and vitality, as though both you and your world have shrunk under the shadow of this relationship. You may continue to feel deep longing and love for a person you know has harmed you.
At PCT, we are here to validate and witness your journey to healing. We will work with you to address the acute emotional and somatic symptoms of narcissistic abuse no matter where you are in your healing process. We will cultivate compassion for all the parts of you that have emerged throughout this struggle. We’ll walk with you as you gather the pieces of yourself and put them back together. We will help you build a strong foundation that can’t be rocked, and a home in yourself where you can know peace and acceptance.
