Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Emotional abuse is often subtle, confusing, and difficult to name. Many clients minimize their experiences or question whether what they are going through “counts.” Over time, this can lead to self-doubt, hypervigilance, and a loss of trust in your own perceptions.
Therapy provides a space to clearly identify harmful patterns, rebuild your sense of reality and self-trust, and develop boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.

Sydney Fowler
Counselor/Therapist, MT-BC, LPC
I work with individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, including patterns of manipulation, control, or invalidation that can impact self-esteem and emotional well-being. Emotional abuse is often less visible but can have lasting effects on how individuals view themselves and relate to others. Treatment focuses on increasing self-awareness, rebuilding a sense of identity, and developing healthier coping strategies. I utilize a trauma-informed approach, incorporating talk therapy and offering EMDR when appropriate to support processing and healing.

Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Victims or perpetrators of emotional abuse are stuck in an abusive dynamic which most likely began before this relationship (in the case of adults) and will determine future relationships (in the case of kids). I work with recognizing this dynamic, uncovering deeper wounds, and providing tools.

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Emotional abuse can deeply impact self-worth, emotional safety, trust, and identity. Many people who have experienced emotional abuse begin doubting themselves, minimizing their pain, or feeling disconnected from their own needs and intuition. Therapy helps clients rebuild self-trust, process the impact of harmful relationships, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with their sense of worth and voice.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Emotional abuse is insidious. The more we take it, the more we feel like we deserve it, or worse, brought it on ourselves. There is a huge wound to our sense of who we are and what we deserve. But this can be healed with support, kindest and mindfulness in a deeply supportive environment.

Melissa Kummer Dague
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Abuse of any kind should never happen, but when it does, therapy can be a valuable tool in healing. I began my career at a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter, and am trained in evidence based trauma modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to best address the needs of those impacted by violence.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
