Richmond, Virginia therapist: Tricia Mazza, counselor/therapist
Emotional Abuse

Tricia Mazza

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize because it often shows up as subtle patterns—being dismissed, blamed, invalidated, or made to question your own reality. You may find yourself constantly explaining your intentions, doubting your memory, or feeling like nothing you do is ever quite right. Over time, this can lead to confusion, anxiety, and a loss of trust in your own instincts. In our work, we focus on clearly identifying these dynamics so you can name what’s happening, rebuild your sense of self, and begin to establish boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.

Falls Church, Virginia therapist: Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D., psychologist
Emotional Abuse

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.

Tysons, Virginia therapist: Tracey Knows, licensed professional counselor
Emotional Abuse

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.
