Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
For many people who have lived with emotional abuse, a therapeutic relationship is the first safe relationship they have. It is understandable to build trust over time at a pace your nervous system dictates, and I feel honored to do this work and walk beside you on this journey.
Emotional abuse sometimes produces symptoms of PTSD. EMDR and other therapies can significantly reduce these symptoms.

Sarah Elaine Zimmerman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C (MD), LCSW-R (NY), LCSW (FL, VA), EMDR Certified Psychotherapist
For 25+ years I've worked with clients who are survivors of abuse, including a safehouse shelter, a center for victims of domestic violence and in private practice. You want a therapist who is nurturing and supportive as you go through this. I want to help you feel stronger and to understand that you did nothing to deserve this. It's essential to have a therapist who also has the expertise to teach skills that you need to keep yourself safe and to process the trauma, such as with EMDR. I can help you move forward and away from the abuse when you are ready. You don't have to do this alone.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I address emotional abuse with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the profound impact it has on an individual's well-being. Grounded in Christian principles, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore the emotional wounds caused by abuse. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, compassion, and the inherent worth of individuals, therapy sessions may involve prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on forgiveness. I collaborate with clients to build resilience, establish healthy boundaries, and foster a sense of empowerment through their faith. While addressing the psychological aspects of emotional abuse, the counselor also guides individuals in seeking spiritual strength and relying on God's grace for healing. This integrated approach aims to support clients in breaking free from the cycle of abuse, restoring their self-worth, and promoting emotional well-being within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in the treatment of emotional abuse, my approach prioritizes creating a safe and validating therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their experiences and heal from the effects of abuse. Through trauma-informed therapy modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches, I help clients process their emotions, challenge distorted beliefs, and develop coping skills to rebuild their sense of self-worth and autonomy. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the dynamics of emotional abuse and support clients in setting boundaries, enhancing self-care practices, and accessing resources for safety and support. Collaboration with other professionals, such as legal advocates or social workers, may also be integrated into the treatment plan to address practical needs and ensure holistic healing. My goal is to empower individuals to reclaim their agency, cultivate resilience, and thrive in relationships characterized by respect and empathy.

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.
