Emotional Abuse
Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of emotional abuse can continue long after the relationship or circumstances have changed. I work with adults who grew up with critical, controlling, emotionally unpredictable, or emotionally abusive parents and family members, as well as those experiencing emotional abuse in current relationships. Therapy can help you understand the lasting impact of these experiences on self-worth, trust, boundaries, and relationships, and begin changing patterns that no longer serve you.

Emotional Abuse
Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
Most (though not all) of the emotional abuse victims I see are victims in classic narcissistic relationships. Sometimes the client sees them as such and sometimes they don't, but that's not what really matters. What really matters is that all experiences of emotional abuse deserve special attention. In such cases, I incorporate narcissistic victimhood/abuse education with the client's EMDR sessions. (In some cases, outside referrals may need to be considered.)

Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that affect self-worth, trust, and relationships. Trauma-informed therapy helps you recognize harmful patterns, reclaim your voice, and rebuild a stronger sense of self.

Emotional Abuse
Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.
