Emotional Abuse
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
I help individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, manipulation, or chronic invalidation—whether in childhood, relationships, or authority structures. These experiences often shape self-doubt, hypervigilance, and difficulty trusting one’s own perceptions. Therapy focuses on rebuilding internal stability, correcting distorted self-beliefs, and restoring a grounded sense of agency and self-respect.

Emotional Abuse
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience supporting clients who have experienced emotional abuse in a variety of contexts, including intimate relationships and family systems. Emotional abuse can be deeply damaging, often leaving individuals feeling confused, isolated, self-doubting, and disconnected from their own sense of reality and worth. It can be especially complex when it occurs within relationships that are ongoing or difficult to fully separate from.
Much of my work in this area focuses on helping clients make sense of toxic or unhealthy relational dynamics and begin to name what has happened to them with greater clarity and self-trust. For many clients, this also includes exploring parental emotional abuse and the lasting impact it can have on identity, attachment, and self-esteem, particularly when cultural or family expectations may influence how relationships are maintained or understood.
I approach this work with deep care and validation, with the intention of helping clients feel less alone and more grounded in their own experience. Together, we work toward rebuilding a sense of internal safety, strengthening self-trust, and moving out of the confusion and darkness that emotional abuse can create.
Healing in this space often involves clarifying boundaries in relationships and exploring what connection or distance may feel healthiest and most supportive for the client. These decisions are deeply personal and can be complex, and I remain present with clients as they navigate them at their own pace.
Ultimately, this work involves both understanding what has happened and actively rebuilding from within- developing healthier boundaries, reconnecting with one’s voice, and cultivating a stronger, more compassionate relationship with oneself.

New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
Our therapists work with individuals who have experienced manipulation, control, verbal attacks, or other forms of psychological harm in relationships. Emotional abuse can leave deep scars, often making it difficult for individuals to trust themselves or others. Our therapists focus on helping clients recognize the effects of emotional abuse, rebuild their sense of self-worth, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. Through trauma-informed care and therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy, we support clients in processing their experiences, setting boundaries, and healing from the emotional wounds left by abuse. Our therapists help to empower individuals to reclaim their emotional strength, cultivate self-compassion, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships moving forward.
