Emotional Abuse Therapy
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.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
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 the cycle of not seeing it, 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.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Allie Kaelin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, APCC
One of the first steps in healing from emotional abuse is recognizing that it has occurred. In therapy, I work with clients to identify the signs of emotional abuse, validating their experiences and helping them build awareness of how these dynamics have affected them. This process can be empowering, as it helps them understand that the pain they’ve experienced is real and deserves to be acknowledged.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
Emotional abuse can have a profound impact on your self-worth, confidence, and happiness. It can cause you to feel worthless, hopeless, isolated, or trapped. You may also suffer from anxiety, depression, or PTSD. I can help you heal from the trauma of emotional abuse and regain your sense of self. My approach is based on a technique called EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a proven method that can help you process your abusive experiences and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. It can help you feel more empowered, assertive, and optimistic. I’m a caring and non-judgmental therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your trauma, establish healthy boundaries, and enhance your well-being.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Victims of emotional abuse may feel like they have completely lost themselves. When we experience psychological abuse, there are severe ramifications that impact our ability to function holistically in our lives. To make matters worse, emotional abuse is often invisible to others. Our partner may behave differently in front our friends and family, but behind closed doors they are bullies and tyrants. This leads to feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and shame. As the confusion and disorientation of this experience sets in, victims start to distrust their own healthy instincts and may even blame themselves for their partners abusive behaviors. The cycle of psychological beatings is a soul killing process. Whether you experienced emotional abuse as a child or are currently living with this traumatic experience, there is hope, joy, and empowerment to be found beyond the pain and suffering. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Emotional abuse at the hands of a loved one leaves a scar that no one can see. When you’ve been manipulated, gaslit, and covertly insulted for months or years you can start to lose your sense of self. Even when you have found the strength to end a relationship where you were treated this way, it haunts you. You have difficulty trusting or joyfully engaging with new people. Or maybe this is a relationship that it is not so simple to end. Perhaps it’s a relationship with a parent or sibling. You’re exhausted. You’re tired of walking on eggshells. Whether it’s time to heal from a former relationship, set some boundaries in an existing one, or bring a relationship to an end, therapy can provide you a safe place to process your experiences. Once you get to know yourself again, you can set some much-needed boundaries or say goodbye, whatever is right for you.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Relationships can turn abusive at times. Your safety is my priority, and we'll work together to implement ways to increase your sense of safety. It is important to understand that emotional abuse is abuse. It may not be as clear cut as physical abuse, but it is equally as harmful and traumatic. Together, we'll process your experience, try to understand the relational dynamic, and emphasize that the abuse you suffered is not your fault.
