Emotional Abuse
Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
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.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse is the hardest kind to recover from, partly because it leaves no visible marks and partly because years of gaslighting have likely convinced you that you're exaggerating, too sensitive, or the real problem in the relationship. Emotional abuse includes gaslighting, manipulation, coercive control, isolation, emotional neglect, intimidation, and the systematic erosion of your self-worth over time. As a licensed psychologist specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery for mothers, I work with women to first name what happened to them accurately — because many don't — and then to heal the specific damage that emotional and psychological abuse creates: the chronic self-doubt, the hypervigilance, the trauma bonding, the loss of identity. This is not general relationship counseling. I have 30 years of clinical experience working specifically with the dynamics of emotional abuse, coercive control, and psychological manipulation, and I understand how these patterns operate, how they escalate after separation, and what it actually takes to heal from them.

Emotional Abuse
Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Emotional Abuse
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.
