Emotional Abuse Therapy
Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Emotional abuse is often insidious and slow to develop. Most emotionally abusive and controlling partners typically don't start demeaning and belittling you on the first date, rather emotional abuse begins seeping through over time. And oftentimes, months even years may have gone by, and you may wonder if what you're hearing is normal, or you may have been told you deserve to be spoken to in this manner, or you may be confused at the hot and cold behavior you're receiving from your partner. Having a therapist who specializes in understanding the covert and overt signs of manipulation and abuse is paramount in healing for survivors. I help women (no matter how long or how short you've been with someone!) recognize the cycle of emotional abuse, the gaslighting, the love bombing, and the emotional manipulation and blame game that often occurs in these complex relational dynamics. I help women regain their footing, recognize the reality, and feel more empowered to make decisions about your relationship and healing process that feel good for you.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in emotional abuse, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to address emotional trauma. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Trauma can stem from any stressful event that threatens your safety, triggering emotional, psychological, or physical responses that deeply affect your mental health. Unfortunately, many people don't take the time to properly process their trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health issues. My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Shannon Fowler
Psychologist, PhD
In situations where someone is being emotionally abused I work very hard to be compassionate. I will never force someone to make a choice to leave. I think each person has to be ready to do that themselves. I work with the individual to understand their situation and what the abuse is doing to them. From there it is up to each person what they chose to do.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
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 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.
