Emotional Abuse Therapy: Breaking Free Through Awareness, Acceptance & Action
My specialized approach to emotional abuse recovery helps clients navigate the challenging journey from victim to survivor through my proven three-phase framework:
AWARENESS: I guide clients to recognize gaslighting, manipulation, emotional control, and psychological abuse patterns. Through trauma-informed therapy, we identify emotional abuse signs and build understanding of relationship dynamics that created psychological wounds.
ACCEPTANCE: Together, we process trauma, validate experiences, and develop self-compassion. This critical healing phase addresses anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms common in emotional abuse survivors while rebuilding self-esteem and personal boundaries.
ACTION: Clients learn practical coping strategies, boundary-setting techniques, and relationship skills for lasting recovery. This empowerment phase focuses on reclaiming personal agency, preventing future abuse, and creating healthy relationship patterns.
My evidence-based approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma recovery techniques specifically tailored for emotional abuse survivors seeking lasting transformation and healing.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who have experienced emotional abuse (and/or other types of abuse) in their relationships. Many people in this situation find it extremely beneficial to work with a therapist to help them cope as best they can with the trauma they have been experiencing and help navigate the paths they would like to take to move forward in their lives. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in emotional abuse, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to address emotional trauma. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Trauma can stem from any stressful event that threatens your safety, triggering emotional, psychological, or physical responses that deeply affect your mental health. Unfortunately, many people don't take the time to properly process their trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health issues. My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Shannon Fowler
Psychologist, PhD
In situations where someone is being emotionally abused I work very hard to be compassionate. I will never force someone to make a choice to leave. I think each person has to be ready to do that themselves. I work with the individual to understand their situation and what the abuse is doing to them. From there it is up to each person what they chose to do.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Sierra Dayton
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Emotional abuse is often very pervasive in an individual's life and many people often overlook the impact it can have on someone. Emotional abuse is highly co-occcurring with symptoms of eating disorders, BPD, and other concerns. Emotional abuse is often what leads to maladaptive schemas, therefore I also utilize schema-focused therapy to help individuals who have experienced emotional abuse to dismantle their maladaptive schemas.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Tracey Knows
Pre-Licensed Professional, RIC 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.
