Emotional Abuse
Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Many times people have told me that being emotionally abused was harder to heal from than if they had been physically abused. When someone tears down our psyche and how we feel about ourselves the road to recovery is difficult and sometimes lengthy but the arrival at emotional restoration is incredibly rewarding.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults heal from the effects of emotional abuse and unhealthy relationship dynamics. Emotional abuse can leave lasting impacts on self-esteem, trust, emotional well-being, and one's sense of safety and identity. Individuals may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or challenges in future relationships. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and trauma-informed care, I help clients process painful experiences, rebuild self-confidence, develop healthy boundaries, and foster resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can heal, regain their sense of self, and move forward with greater strength and confidence.

Emotional Abuse
Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Emotional abuse can leave wounds that are difficult for others to see but deeply painful for the person experiencing them. Our practice provides compassionate, trauma-informed emotional abuse counseling for individuals who have experienced manipulation, controlling behavior, constant criticism, humiliation, intimidation, blame, threats, isolation, verbal abuse, gaslighting, or other unhealthy relationship patterns.
Emotional and psychological abuse can occur within marriages, dating relationships, families, friendships, and other interpersonal relationships. Over time, these experiences may contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-doubt, guilt, fear, difficulty trusting others, relationship problems, emotional exhaustion, and trauma-related symptoms.
Our clinicians help clients identify and understand patterns of emotional abuse, psychological abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, and controlling relationships while developing healthier boundaries and coping strategies. Counseling can also help clients rebuild self-esteem, strengthen confidence, process painful relationship experiences, recognize unhealthy relationship patterns, and reconnect with their own thoughts, feelings, needs, and personal values.
Whether you are questioning if you are experiencing emotional abuse, trying to leave an unhealthy relationship, or healing from a past emotionally abusive relationship, we provide a confidential and supportive space for recovery. Our goal is to help clients move beyond the effects of emotional abuse, rebuild their sense of self, establish healthier relationships, and move forward with greater confidence, emotional stability, and hope.

Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
