Emotional Abuse Therapy
Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Emotional abuse can often hide from the outside world, yourself and even your partner. The visciousness of persistently being made to feel unworthy, less-than and self-shame accrues over time, often slowly, beyond obvious awareness. This can make it even more difficult to understand what is going on while adding shame to the idea of admitting and bringing the abuse to light. In therapy, we find where you are and learn about your current level of comfort - moving at your pace to begin to better understand the dynamics and how to build your core in order to shield yourself and shift into a more empowering stance.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Jessi Blank
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
With clients having suffered from emotional abuse, I incorporate not only psychodynamic techniques but also as an informed internal family systems therapist, I help clients to better identify their different "parts" in efforts to allow their true self to help heal the more exiled (vulnerable) parts that can become greatly activated when there has been history of emotional abuse, for example.

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.
