Emotional Abuse
Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, but its impact runs deep, shaping how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve. I help clients recognize the subtle patterns of manipulation and control, process the emotional pain, and begin to redefine what love, respect, and safety look like. Healing here means remembering your worth and learning to trust your own reality again.

Emotional Abuse
Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse can be so painful. It locks us into negative self talk. EMDR, psychodynamic work and STAIR/NST are great approaches to address it. I help clients process through their painful experiences by offering them sensitivity and empathy. I help clients develop more effective ways of seeing themselves and their past.

Emotional Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Under the guise of trauma focused therapy, the more subtle and therefore sometimes most confusing aspects of emotional abuse can become critical to unwind and understand both in the context of past childhood experiences with immature caregivers, how these experiences can inform the choice of romantic partners later in life and how to move past these patterns and expectations to allow for growth and freedom from relationships that detract rather than add.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Emotional Abuse
Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
Emotional abuse if often much harder to identify than physical, although most ACoAs experience both. It includes all the cruel ways we were talked to, and all the loving ways that were NOT provided. (Blog : 2012)

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Emotional abuse can leave lasting imprints on self-esteem, boundaries, and the capacity to trust. My work integrates psychoanalytic and relational approaches to explore how these experiences shape internal emotional life and relational patterns. Together, we work toward restoring a sense of agency, safety, and emotional self-connection.

Emotional Abuse
Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
When we are trapped inside toxic relationship cycles, we often come to a point where we feel like there is no way out—especially if we keep on recreating the same toxic patterns with the people around us. The first step to breaking free is to understand that you have the power to get out and save yourself from destructive patterns so you can live your life in the healthiest, most authentic way possible. It is never too late to ask for help, and my therapy approach involves giving you the guidance and support you need to identify these toxic relationships in your life so you can start building healthy, mindful connections. We will work together to discover how you can break the cycle, rework, and nurture your relationships by identifying the root cause of these unhealthy patterns. This could involve pinpointing traumatic childhood experiences like neglectful or abusive behaviors from emotionally immature or narcissistic parents and other authority figures in your life. Once you’ve recognized where these dysfunctional patterns come from, we will work toward getting rid of harmful belief systems like constant self-blaming or feeling as if you are a bad person, so you can begin to prioritize your well-being. We can then work on rebuilding your self-esteem, setting your emotional and mental boundaries, and learning how to better regulate your emotions. Breaking away from these patterns will eventually give you the peace of mind you need to finally start loving yourself so that you feel worthy of good treatment. That is the first step in creating and nurturing positive relationships while living a life that’s free from emotional pain and trauma-induced vicious cycles. - - - "There is no normal life that is free of pain. The very wrestling with our problems provides the impetus for growth." Fred Rogers

Brooklyn is home to one of the most culturally and economically diverse therapy communities in the United States, with practices concentrated in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg serving an extraordinarily wide range of backgrounds and needs. The borough's large Caribbean, West African, Haitian, and Orthodox Jewish communities drive sustained demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. Brooklyn's rapid gentrification and rising rents have become significant mental health stressors, and therapists frequently address the grief of displacement experienced by long-term residents alongside the adjustment challenges of newer arrivals. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources for a borough of nearly three million people.
