Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
The subtlety of emotional abuse is sometimes hard to see. Having studied it thoroughly, I know it very well and see it clearly and I coach others how to see it sooner. Getting out of a negative relationship or cycle of not seeing it this takes a good deal of understanding the nuances of what it is and how it happens. I can help you learn to see it earlier and get yourself out of bad situations sooner and set better boundaries so you don't get abused in the future.

Micha Noble, MA

What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency? The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves--the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Emotional abuse can be one of the most detrimental things to endure and can cause significant conflict within individuals, couples, and families. However, this is also an area of abuse that often does not get addressed. It is often rationalized away. I am here to validate the hurtful impacts of emotional abuse, help victims to find their voice, process feelings of guilt and shame, and to help make repairs.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Emotional abuse can take such a toll on a persons life, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. Emotionally abusive relationships can cause a person to question themselves, and everyone around them, which can be extremely isolating, lonely, and scary. Emotional wounds tend to cut even deeper than physical wounds can. It is so important when in an emotionally abusive relationship, or in recovery of one, that we have an ample amount of support, encouragement and perspective on the situation. Our therapists can offer a variety of support to clients in and out of emotionally abusive relationships, and help uncover the root of those who are drawn to these types of relationships, and to those who find themselves contributing to creating them.

Dr. Catherine Ferreira-Babor, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Emotional abuse can be extremely confusing. It may have taken you a long time to realize that this is what is happening. You may not even be sure, but you don't need to know with any degree of certainty before you see me. Learning to take care of yourself, learning what thoughts and feelings are truly yours (and not those that have been forced upon you), understanding how you got in to this situation and how to get out, and learning how to have healthy relationships going forward...it may be complicated but it is truly liberating.

Kelly Garrity
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse and abuse of all forms, writes on the wall of who we believe we are. It creates distortions and illusions that limit and can last a life time without our awareness that we are living in a fog. We are not living our lives but instead we are unconsiously re-living our learned 'survial' patterns!
This is my speciality and my passion - to help you heal and finally shift from surviving to thriving. Together we can walk through the fog to a clear and authentic vision of you.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if it's precisely because you're smart, caring, and accommodating that you've been targeted by manipulative people? It's not your fault that people can be untrustworthy, self-serving, harsh, and insensitive.
Narcissists and Sociopaths represent 2% of the population, and they often have children. Growing up with highly critical, emotionally unavailable parents, who may have been caught up in their own mental health challenges, addictions, or abusive relationships can be considered traumatic.
People who've survived narcissistic abuse, upbringings without empathy, or a relentless break-down of your ego can still be successful high-achievers and entrepreneurs. Even after trying everything you can to keep the peace, please them, what if you still feel unsupported by your loved ones?
I specialize in the links between trauma and achievement, as well as family estrangement. Gradually, you'll learn that your preferences and needs matter too. We'll identify your triggers, practice self-regulation strategies, and develop tools for you to connect with your self-worth, establish a sense of safety, and identify trustworthy people.

Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Emotional abuse can often feel more challenging to heal from than physical abuse! It can twist your mind, erode your perception, and leave you fighting hard to think clearly, know who you are, and function interpersonally. Recovery from emotional abuse involves developing a safe relationship with your therapist, learning and understanding the nuances and impacts of emotional abuse, and working towards reconnecting with yourself, your feelings and needs, and your sovereign power and autonomy without shame.
