Emotional Abuse
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.

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.

Relationships form us; in both positive and painful ways. I have years of experience working with folks who have had and are in traumatic relationships; platonically, romantically, and in their families of origin.

Emotional Abuse
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Emotional abuse can be subtle, confusing, and deeply destabilizing. It often involves patterns of control, manipulation, gaslighting, invalidation, or chronic criticism that erode a person’s sense of self over time. Many survivors question their own perceptions or minimize their experiences, especially when there are no visible injuries or when care and harm coexist.
In therapy, I offer a space to gently explore your experiences without pressure to label them before you’re ready. Our work focuses on restoring trust in your own reality, understanding how abusive dynamics take shape, and supporting your nervous system as it recovers from chronic relational stress. Therapy is paced, consent-centered, and grounded in compassion—helping you reconnect with your voice, rebuild boundaries, and move toward relationships that feel safe, mutual, and affirming.
