Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’. Healing emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
For many people who have lived with emotional abuse, a therapeutic relationship is the first safe relationship they have. It is understandable to build trust over time at a pace your nervous system dictates, and I feel honored to do this work and walk beside you on this journey.
Emotional abuse sometimes produces symptoms of PTSD. EMDR, which I am extensively trained in, and other therapies can significantly reduce these symptoms.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals escaping emotionally abusive relationships—whether with a partner or family member. Emotional abuse can leave deep wounds, eroding self-worth and making it difficult to trust yourself or others. My approach focuses on helping you reclaim your identity, set firm boundaries, and heal from the effects of manipulation, gaslighting, and control. Through trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and self-empowerment strategies, I help clients break free from toxic dynamics and rebuild a life rooted in self-trust, confidence, and emotional safety. You deserve peace and respect, and you have nothing to be ashamed of if you're a victim of emotional abuse.
