Emotional Abuse
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients process the impact of emotional abuse, including criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, control, invalidation, and patterns that have caused them to question themselves or lose confidence. In therapy, we work on understanding what happened, rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries, and reducing the guilt, shame, anxiety, or confusion that can follow emotionally harmful relationships. My goal is to help clients feel clearer, more grounded, and more confident in their ability to protect their well-being.

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.

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
