Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Leesburg, Virginia VA
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!

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.

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.
