Emotional Abuse
Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
When you grow up with a parent who frequently criticizes you or makes you question your own feelings, their voice can be hard to leave behind when childhood is over.
Now, one critical comment can stick with you for hours. You replay what was said and wonder whether they were right about you.
I use EMDR therapy to help adults work through experiences of emotional abuse from childhood so what happened has less power over how they feel about themselves today.

Emotional Abuse
Sabina Mauro
Psychologist, PsyD
Emotional abuse does not always leave visible scars, but its impact can shape how you see yourself, navigate relationships, and experience the world. Over time, criticism, manipulation, invalidation, or controlling behaviors can lead you to question your own perceptions, needs, and worth. My work focuses on helping individuals recognize these patterns, understand how past experiences may influence present relationships, and begin rebuilding trust in themselves. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, we work toward strengthening boundaries, restoring confidence, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been overshadowed by the experiences of abuse. Healing is not about changing who you are, but rediscovering who you have always been.

Emotional Abuse
HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Emotional abuse can be overt or covert. Hypnotherapy, Heart Centered Breathwork, and Emotional Release work can get to the source of emotional abuse. Usually in a family dynamic where abuse and trauma are present, the obvious abuse from one of the caregivers is the first to do emotional release work on. The caregiver dishing out covert emotional abuse flies under the radar. They may be the one that does nothing to help the child for fear of what the other caregiver will do. That is just as damaging to the person but in a more subtle way. Emotional abuse also happens when one gets involved with a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath with gas lighting, ghosting, etc. Another specialty of mine is working with clients that are in relationship with a narcissist & sociopaths as the abuse is so unsettling and covert that the client thinks its their fault for being emotionally abused. My job is to help you pull back the curtain to the Wizard of Oz just to find the real person behind the curtain and realize you don't deserve such manipulative treatment.
