Emotional Abuse

Shayda Ewalt

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse can be subtle yet deeply damaging. Gaslighting, manipulation, and chronic criticism can distort your sense of reality and affect your self-trust. In therapy, we untangle these experiences with care, validated your truth, and help you rebuild a strong internal foundation grounded in clarity and self-worth.

New York City, New York therapist: Nancy Burns, counselor/therapist
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

New York City, New York therapist: Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh, counselor/therapist
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.
