Emotional Abuse
Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
Emotional abuse doesn’t always look obvious from the outside. It can involve criticism, manipulation, control, or being made to question your own thoughts and reactions. Over time, this can leave you doubting yourself, overthinking everything you say and do, or feeling like you’re always on edge.
These experiences don’t just stay in the past—they can continue to affect how you see yourself and respond in relationships. I help clients work through the impact of emotional abuse so it no longer shapes how they think, feel, or move through their lives. Using EMDR, we address the underlying experiences so you can regain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of yourself.

Emotional Abuse
J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Emotional abuse, especially narcissistic abuse, can be difficult to recognize and often leaves lasting effects on self-esteem, trust, and relationship patterns. These experiences may involve gaslighting, manipulation, chronic criticism, emotional invalidation, or feeling as though your needs and feelings are consistently minimized. Over time, you may find yourself questioning your perceptions, struggling with boundaries, or feeling unsure of your own needs. I help clients process these experiences, rebuild confidence and self-worth, and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Emotional Abuse
Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Emotional abuse can be subtle, confusing, and deeply damaging over time. I work with individuals and couples to identify harmful patterns and power dynamics, name what has been happening, and understand the impact on self-worth and the relationship. My approach supports accountability, boundary-setting, repair, and more intentional, respectful ways of relating moving forward.

Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The area is home to world-class mental health institutions including Massachusetts General Hospital and nearby McLean Hospital in Belmont, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
