Emotional Abuse
Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Emotional abuse — especially from a narcissistic partner or parent — can leave you questioning your worth, your memories, and even your sanity. Many of my clients grew up with criticism, manipulation, or constant blame, and later found themselves repeating those painful patterns in adult relationships. In therapy, I help you untangle the confusion, recognize the ways you’ve been controlled, and separate your true self from the voice of the abuser. Over time, you can rebuild confidence, set boundaries without guilt, and begin to trust your own feelings again.

Emotional Abuse
Compassionate Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Emotional abuse is insidious. It has the potential to go unchecked for a very long time. And when you do finally recognize that it's happening to you, there are waves of emotions and decisions that need to be addressed. Creating a support system to help you find emotional and relational safety, compassion, and understanding are vital. Learning how to recognize abuse takes time and expertise. We can help.

Emotional Abuse
Amanda Butler
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse can leave lasting effects on self-trust, confidence, and one’s sense of safety in relationships. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment where clients can process these experiences at their own pace. We work to identify unhealthy relational patterns, rebuild personal boundaries, and strengthen a sense of self. Healing often involves rediscovering one’s voice and reclaiming personal agency.

Emotional Abuse
Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Emotional abuse leaves invisible wounds that can be just as devastating as physical trauma. If you've experienced manipulation, gaslighting, constant criticism, or controlling behavior, you may struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from your own reality. You deserve validation that what you experienced was real and that its impact on your life matters.
In our therapeutic work together, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. We'll work to rebuild your sense of self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, and develop tools to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns. Through evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care, we'll address the complex effects of emotional abuse—from intrusive thoughts and hypervigilance to difficulties trusting yourself and others.
Recovery is possible. Many survivors of emotional abuse rediscover their authentic selves, build fulfilling relationships, and reclaim their power. Whether you're still in a difficult situation, recently left, or dealing with long-term effects from past abuse, I'm here to support you in breaking free from the cycle and creating the life you deserve. Your experiences are valid, your healing matters, and you don't have to navigate this journey alone.

Emotional Abuse
Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients experiencing emotional abuse by providing a safe, validating, and nonjudgmental space where they can explore their experiences and the impact on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I help clients recognize patterns of manipulation, control, and verbal or psychological harm, and understand how these experiences affect self-esteem, boundaries, and relationships. I teach coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and trauma responses, and work with clients to develop healthy boundaries, assertiveness, and self-protection skills. Additionally, I assist clients in rebuilding self-worth, processing feelings of shame or guilt, and developing supportive networks. Throughout therapy, I provide guidance, empowerment, and tools to help clients heal, regain control, and make safe, informed decisions for their well-being.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
