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.

Murphy Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Emotional abuse can leave you questioning your perceptions, needs, boundaries, and even your sense of who you are. I help clients recognize and process the impact of emotional abuse, coercive control, manipulation, and unhealthy relationship dynamics while rebuilding self-trust, autonomy, and a stronger sense of self.

Emotional Abuse
Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse often is minimized or not even recognized at all. Which is a bunch of crap that I think we're socially programed to put up with. Screw that. It leaves deep wounds and can wreak havoc in all areas of life. I am very passionate and experienced in this area and want to help you through it.

I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from emotional abuse. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space to rebuild self-worth and trust after experiences of manipulation, control, or invalidation. Together, we work to understand the impact of emotional trauma, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools for self-compassion and empowerment. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients regain confidence, rediscover their voice, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
