Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Dayton, Texas TX
Relevant Connections Counseling and Couples Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist
Emotional abuse, often silent and insidious, can leave deep psychological scars that persist long after the overt acts have ceased. It can manifest in various ways: constant criticism, manipulation, humiliation, and invalidation, to name a few. At Relevant Connections, we understand the profound impact such abuse can have on one's self-esteem, trust, and overall mental well-being. Our therapeutic approach aims to provide a safe space for survivors to acknowledge their experiences, process the associated emotions, and rebuild a sense of self-worth. We also equip our clients with tools and strategies to recognize abusive patterns, set boundaries, and reclaim their autonomy. Healing from emotional abuse is a journey, and we're here to guide and support you every step of the way.
8 Years Experience
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.

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.

Kristin Wright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Were you criticized heavily as a child? Did you feel worthless growing up? Or have you been in a relationship where you were gas lighted and treated poorly. Emotional abuse is often a silent form of trauma that most don't recognize until they are much older. However, it can lead to low self-esteem, perfectionism, struggles in relationships later in life, and even PTSD. With many years of experiences working with abuse survivors, I strive to create a safe environment for them to process their traumatic past and learn to love the strong and courageous person that they are.
