Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Whether someone is a perpetrator of emotional abuse or a victim of it, a Rapid Transformational Therapy session helps a person to identify why they would feel the need to manipulate or control someone else by finding the source or belief driving the behavior, which is based in a person's past experiences and relationships. Someone who is a victim of emotional abuse can benefit from a session if they suffered from low self-esteem, anxiety, etc from it. The beliefs and patterns that drive the behaviors are identified, reframed, and removed in hypnosis, while healthier and more positive beliefs are suggested and "installed" using a bespoke personal transformation recording to replace them.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Experiencing emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds that aren’t always visible—but they are real and valid. In therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to untangle the effects of gaslighting, control, and chronic invalidation. Together, we’ll focus on restoring your sense of self, establishing healthy boundaries, and rebuilding confidence using trauma-informed techniques and self-empowerment practices. You deserve to feel safe, respected, and whole again.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who have been in relationships where their feelings, needs, or perceptions were dismissed, minimized, or used against them. Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to name, especially when the relationship also included care, love, or periods of calm. You might relate to feeling confused about what was “real,” wondering if you were too sensitive or overreacting, replaying conversations in your head, or changing your behavior to avoid criticism, withdrawal, or the silent treatment. For many people, these patterns started young, in families where you had to stay tuned in to other people’s moods, keep the peace, or be “easy” so things didn’t get worse. Experiences like this can leave a long imprint: second‑guessing yourself, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, bracing for criticism even when nothing is wrong, or working hard to stay acceptable so conflict doesn’t escalate. You may find yourself feeling small in relationships, even when you are competent and grounded in other areas of your life. Over time, these patterns can shape your sense of self, your nervous system, and what you believe you are allowed to expect from others. In our work together, we make space for what you went through and how it lives in your body and relationships now, and we explore what it means to move forward with more clarity, self‑trust, and choice.

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.
