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.

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.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, yet its impact runs deep. Maybe you’ve been made to feel small, controlled, or constantly second-guess yourself. Perhaps you’ve been told that your feelings don’t matter, that you’re “too sensitive,” or that you’re the problem. Over time, this kind of treatment can erode your self-esteem, leave you feeling trapped, and make it hard to trust yourself or others. Even if the abuse is in the past, its effects can linger in the way you see yourself and navigate relationships.
Healing from emotional abuse is about reclaiming your voice, your worth, and your sense of self. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your experience, rebuild self-trust, and help you step out of survival mode into a life where you feel empowered and in control. You deserve to be heard, respected, and valued—not just by others, but by yourself. It’s possible to move forward, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, particularly when it has developed gradually within a relationship. I help clients identify unhealthy patterns such as manipulation, control, gaslighting, intimidation, and chronic criticism, while working on boundaries, self-trust, and deciding what a healthier path forward looks like.
