Oshkosh, Wisconsin therapist: Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco, psychologist
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco

Psychologist, PhD
Relationships need to be safe and respectful. You are an equal human being, no matter what else is about you. There are many things you can try to change dynamics, so that you don't stay abused. A good therapist should try to understand both sides, as this is part of understanding that is empathic but firm in setting boundaries. I often treat emotional abuse in the context of couples' therapy, and we work to heal and resolve it. I have seen many emotionally abusive partners change. So, don't give up and don't give in. Your never know what solid therapy might accomplish!

Denver, Colorado therapist: Camille Larsen, licensed professional counselor
Emotional Abuse Therapy

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 and other therapies can significantly reduce these symptoms.

Cincinnati, Ohio therapist: Ben Dickstein, psychologist
Emotional Abuse Therapy

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.

Agoura Hills, California therapist: Rachel Ann Dine, licensed professional counselor
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Rachel Ann Dine

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Emotional abuse is often insidious and slow to develop. Most emotionally abusive and controlling partners typically don't start demeaning and belittling you on the first date, rather emotional abuse begins seeping through over time. And oftentimes, months even years may have gone by, and you may wonder if what you're hearing is normal, or you may have been told you deserve to be spoken to in this manner, or you may be confused at the hot and cold behavior you're receiving from your partner. Having a therapist who specializes in understanding the covert and overt signs of manipulation and abuse is paramount in healing for survivors. I help women (no matter how long or how short you've been with someone!) recognize the cycle of emotional abuse, the gaslighting, the love bombing, and the emotional manipulation and blame game that often occurs in these complex relational dynamics. I help women regain their footing, recognize the reality, and feel more empowered to make decisions about your relationship and healing process that feel good for you.

Nashville, Tennessee therapist: Dr. Christine Manley, psychologist
Emotional Abuse Therapy

Dr. Christine Manley

Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
Emotional abuse may be more common than many individuals think. It can occur in childhood, at home, at work or in a number of other relationships. Studies have shown that the differences between physical abuse and emotional abuse were not significantly different in terms of harmful long-term mental health outcomes (things like later substance abuse, depression and anxiety). Emotional abuse may not leave bruises, but it can still leave a "mark." If you feel you may be continuing to fell the effects of emotional abuse, please contact me to begin your recovery process.
