Emotional Abuse
Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Emotional abuse can profoundly affect our sense of self-acceptance, trust, emotional well-being, and ability to form healthy relationships. Its effects are often difficult to recognize, particularly when patterns of manipulation, criticism, control, or invalidation have developed gradually over time. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, process painful emotions, and begin to rebuild trust in themselves and others. My approach emphasizes understanding the impact of these experiences without defining individuals by what they have endured. I work with clients toward strengthening personal boundaries, reclaiming autonomy, fostering self-compassion, and developing healthier, more authentic relationships.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from emotional abuse. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space to rebuild self-worth and trust after experiences of manipulation, control, or invalidation. Together, we work to understand the impact of emotional trauma, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools for self-compassion and empowerment. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients regain confidence, rediscover their voice, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

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.

Emotional Abuse
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Developing a close relationship with someone who displays narcissistic tendencies can result in trauma and pain. If you believe you have experienced narcissistic abuse from a parent, a partner, a friend, or another close entity, you may have noticed daily or near-daily dread, brain fog, panic, helplessness, and powerlessness. You may feel shame, self-doubt, and confusion alongside a tendency to blame yourself for all the ways this relationship feels wrong. You may feel that you’ve lost touch with your former confidence and vitality, as though both you and your world have shrunk under the shadow of this relationship. You may continue to feel deep longing and love for a person you know has harmed you.
At PCT, we are here to validate and witness your journey to healing. We will work with you to address the acute emotional and somatic symptoms of narcissistic abuse no matter where you are in your healing process. We will cultivate compassion for all the parts of you that have emerged throughout this struggle. We’ll walk with you as you gather the pieces of yourself and put them back together. We will help you build a strong foundation that can’t be rocked, and a home in yourself where you can know peace and acceptance.

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.
