Emotional mistreatment is not like physical or overt sexual abuse, which are episodic and which often leave specific memories.
As you overcome the effects of emotional abuse, you can focus more freely on the present, become unstuck, and and move forward. I'll help you, using a combination of psychodynamic therapy (exploring how your past affects you) and cognitive behavior therapy (correcting unhelpful thinking habits), individually and in groups.

Life can become difficult to navigate when stress, relationships, competing responsibilities, or long-standing patterns begin to affect how we think, feel, and function. Therapy can create space to slow down, reflect on what is happening, examine it more objectively, and consider perspectives that may be difficult to access on your own. I help clients clarify what is most important to them, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and move toward greater stability, confidence, and direction.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
