Emotional abuse and neglect can be subtle yet deeply impactful. Growing up in environments where emotions were dismissed, ignored, or punished often leads to self-doubt, difficulty trusting others, and chronic emotional insecurity.
I provide therapy for childhood emotional neglect and emotional abuse in Essex County, NJ, helping clients understand how early experiences shape current emotional patterns.
Therapy may support you if you:
Struggle with self-worth or identity
Feel emotionally disconnected
Fear being a burden
Have difficulty expressing needs
Healing involves building emotional safety, strengthening self-compassion, and developing healthier relational patterns.
