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.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lasting wounds—often invisible but profoundly painful. You may question your worth, doubt your perceptions, or struggle with trust and boundaries. In therapy, we focus on rebuilding your sense of safety, confidence, and self-respect. Together, we’ll uncover and heal the impact of manipulation, criticism, or neglect. Using evidence-based trauma therapies, you can learn to release shame, rebuild inner strength, and reclaim your authentic voice.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse is the hardest kind to recover from, partly because it leaves no visible marks and partly because years of gaslighting have likely convinced you that you're exaggerating, too sensitive, or the real problem in the relationship. Emotional abuse includes gaslighting, manipulation, coercive control, isolation, emotional neglect, intimidation, and the systematic erosion of your self-worth over time. As a licensed psychologist specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery for mothers, I work with women to first name what happened to them accurately — because many don't — and then to heal the specific damage that emotional and psychological abuse creates: the chronic self-doubt, the hypervigilance, the trauma bonding, the loss of identity. This is not general relationship counseling. I have 30 years of clinical experience working specifically with the dynamics of emotional abuse, coercive control, and psychological manipulation, and I understand how these patterns operate, how they escalate after separation, and what it actually takes to heal from them.
