Emotional abuse is often hidden.

You may go years in a relationship without realizing you’ve undergone emotional abuse. Even as you read this, you still may not be sure. When someone is abusing you emotionally they are controlling you through guilt, intimidation, and manipulation. They distort your reality. They confuse you.

Even neglect isn’t always obvious as it comes in many different forms. It’s parents that sleep all the time, forcing you to take care of yourself and your siblings far more than is reasonable. It’s a spouse who’s never home, never helps with the children, and ignores your emotional needs. It’s growing up in a home where there’s hardly any food in the fridge, the home is never clean, and there’s no sense of structure for the children.

Emotional abuse and neglect can have devastating impacts on a person’s mental and emotional well-being, often causing feelings of shame, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. This can lead to difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships. Our therapists understand the complex and long-lasting effects of emotional abuse and neglect and are trained to provide specialized counseling services to address these issues.
