Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Loveland, Colorado CO
Pamela T Iverson LPC, CACIII EMDR
Counselor/Therapist, LPC CACIII EMDR Certified
Identifying emotional abuse is one of my gifts. It is minimized and unidentified by many. Some consider emotional abuse more traumatic than physical as it leaves an individual questioning their own reality.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.

Jennifer Fuller James
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Mountain View Counseling, LLC
Emotional abuse can happen in all types of relationships. It is often used to control others. Emotional abuse is a form of manipulation that often leads to people feeling poorly about themselves. There are ways to set boundaries and step away from relationships that are toxic.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
At Denver Wellness Counseling, our therapists are educated in working with adult children of emotionally immature parents, otherwise understood as emotional abuse or neglect. Often these adults have come to realize that their early caregivers struggled with a major mental health issue or personality disorder (ex. narcissism, borderline). Our approach to working with adult children of emotionally immature parents starts with education, so they can recognize, understand, and depersonalize their lived experience. Then, we often combine parts work (recognizing ways that their psyche had to adapt to their inefficient/unsafe caregiving), attachment resourcing (relearning and downloading messages of self-worth, existence, individuality, boundaries, strength, and safety), and trauma reprocessing (EMDR). This work benefits not only their self-identity, but also their relationships as they learn their worth, their boundaries, and their SELF identity.
