Emotional Abuse
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Emotional abuse is when one person in a relationship uses their power in the relationship to shame, blame, criticize, frighten, belittle, or control another person. This may happen through words and/or behaviors. It may start small, and escalate over time. Emotional abuse is highly correlated to other types of abuse, but can also occur as the only form of abuse in the relationship.
All relationships have conflict at times. Emotional abuse is far from normal conflict and involves an imbalance of power and an attempt to control.
Experiencing emotional abuse can have serious consequences for the victim/survivor. The effects can range from internal (such as depression) to external (such as difficulties in interpersonal relationships).1 The type of effects depends on many variables, including, but not limited to, the individual’s own constitution and resiliency, the abuse experienced, the victim’s past experiences, and their support system.
Dealing with emotional abuse, both during and after the relationship, can be tremendously difficult. Emotional abuse can erode your sense of self, making it harder to trust your own judgment. Help from a mental health professional is key.

Emotional Abuse
Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Emotional abuse can leave wounds that are difficult for others to see but deeply painful for the person experiencing them. Our practice provides compassionate, trauma-informed emotional abuse counseling for individuals who have experienced manipulation, controlling behavior, constant criticism, humiliation, intimidation, blame, threats, isolation, verbal abuse, gaslighting, or other unhealthy relationship patterns.
Emotional and psychological abuse can occur within marriages, dating relationships, families, friendships, and other interpersonal relationships. Over time, these experiences may contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-doubt, guilt, fear, difficulty trusting others, relationship problems, emotional exhaustion, and trauma-related symptoms.
Our clinicians help clients identify and understand patterns of emotional abuse, psychological abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, and controlling relationships while developing healthier boundaries and coping strategies. Counseling can also help clients rebuild self-esteem, strengthen confidence, process painful relationship experiences, recognize unhealthy relationship patterns, and reconnect with their own thoughts, feelings, needs, and personal values.
Whether you are questioning if you are experiencing emotional abuse, trying to leave an unhealthy relationship, or healing from a past emotionally abusive relationship, we provide a confidential and supportive space for recovery. Our goal is to help clients move beyond the effects of emotional abuse, rebuild their sense of self, establish healthier relationships, and move forward with greater confidence, emotional stability, and hope.

Emotional Abuse
Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Emotional abuse often doesn’t leave bruises, but it can erode your confidence and make you doubt your own reality. I help clients name gaslighting, spiritual/emotional manipulation, and chronically invalidating environments — including in families and churches — and then relearn how to trust themselves. Using parts work/IFS and trauma-responsive care, we work to restore self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and build relationships that feel safe.
