Emotional Abuse
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience abuse, it creates patterns that make it hard to cope with new stressors in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how old wounds are interfering in the present. I am an experienced psychologist who can help you process the trauma with psychodynamic work and EMDR, so you can reduce the distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
You are more than what happened to you. Experiencing emotional or verbal abuse may be part of your story, but it does not have to define you. You are not responsible for someone else's decision to hurt you. You are a someone who experienced something painful. You can heal, grow, and rebuild your life. Healing takes time and may require support. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.

Emotional Abuse
Jan Yomogida
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional wounds are invisible wounds; you can appear fine on the outside but feel deep hurt on the inside. If you've experienced emotional abuse such as gaslighting, shaming, derogatory name calling, verbal attacks, psychological manipulation, and isolation/control, it's important you don't go through this alone or suppress your emotions. Your feelings matter..
