Emotional Abuse
Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
If you are presenting to counseling for this issue, I recommend you do not tell the person you see as targeting you that you are seeking help. Emotional abuse may be a type of domestic violence. Or it may be a way a family member, partner, work colleague, boss, or friend interacts. There are different forms of emotional abuse and there may be things you can do. However, if this is persistent focused emotional abuse from someone -- and it is domestic violence -- it is not an anger problem, but a belief system that everything exists for their use. I will have a better idea when we talk. There may be things you can do, there may be plans you can make for changes. How much it affects you is key to planning.

Emotional Abuse
Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced emotional abuse (and/or other types of abuse) in their relationships. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the trauma they have been experiencing and help navigate the paths they would like to take to move forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Emotional Abuse
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds—often invisible but profoundly painful. You may question your worth, doubt your perceptions, or struggle with trust and boundaries. In therapy, we focus on rebuilding your sense of safety, confidence, and self-respect. Together, we’ll uncover and heal the impact of manipulation, criticism, or neglect. Using evidence-based trauma therapies, you can learn to release shame, rebuild inner strength, and reclaim your authentic voice.
