Emotional Abuse
Humble Steps Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, APHSW-C
The unseen wounds of Emotional Abuse can subtly distort your self-worth and leave you carrying painful, enduring lessons like "I am not enough" or "I cannot trust my own reality." Because these wounds live deep within your relational patterns, healing requires a therapeutic space that is explicitly safe, validating and collaborative. I will help you untangle yourself from the confusing messages of the past, reclaim your voice and rebuild a secure sense of self.

Emotional Abuse
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’. Healing emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Emotional Abuse
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My experience working with children, teens, and families in foster care gave me a strong foundation in understanding attachment, family dynamics, and the effects of relational trauma. This experience continues to inform my work with adults recovering from emotional abuse. Drawing on attachment, relational, and trauma-informed approaches alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients understand protective patterns, rebuild self-trust, and move beyond the self-doubt and questioning that often comes with these experiences.
