Emotional Abuse
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Many of my clients have suffered from emotional abuse from their families of origin or from friends or partners. Healing from this abuse has been the focus of much of the therapy I have done due to its prevalence and its long-term negative effects. As many parents now know, cyberbullying is hurting too many young people these days as well. Emotional abuse can cause people of any age to feel insecure, anxious, and fearful and can lead to depression and substance abuse. It also triggers shame, guilt, and anger. These feelings impact the individual not only at the time of the abuse but far into the future as a life pattern that sabatoges positive efforts. Successful healing is achieved by working with early memories, Gestalt, and psychoanalytic approaches with clients' dreams, and discussion of abusive incidents from present and past relationships. Mindfulness approaches also alleviate the negative symptoms, as research confirms. I offer free zoom seminars, which introduce Mindfulness, promote a positive view of life, and help with issues involving emotional abuse. Please feel free to call for information or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Emotional Abuse
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in emotional abuse, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to address emotional trauma. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Trauma can stem from any stressful event that threatens your safety, triggering emotional, psychological, or physical responses that deeply affect your mental health. Unfortunately, many people don't take the time to properly process their trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health issues. My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.

Emotional Abuse
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’. Healing emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
My Emotional Abuse Therapy focuses on deconstructing the "gaslighting" and mental surveillance that erode your sense of self. We use somatic cues to help you learn to trust your own "felt sense" again after it has been systematically undermined. Our work is to help you silence the voice of the abuser and amplify the voice of your own truth.
