Emotional Abuse
Jon Roberts
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMDR
Emotional abuse leaves deep relational injuries, fracturing your innate sense of safety and forcing your nervous system into chronic vigilance to avoid rejection. When closeness has felt unsafe, our focus is on repairing those core attachment injuries. At a safe, tolerable pace, we use EMDR and parts work to dismantle the internalized criticism and transform your relational blueprint. By cultivating a secure internal base, you will learn to trust your reality again, break free from survival-driven relationship patterns, and confidently reclaim your worth.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Emotional abuse can be subtle yet deeply damaging, often leaving you feeling confused, invalidated, anxious, or unsure of your own perceptions. It may include patterns of manipulation, gaslighting, criticism, control, or chronic dismissal of your feelings and needs.

Together, you’ll explore patterns in your relationships, rebuild trust in your own thoughts and emotions, and work toward strengthening boundaries and self-worth. The focus is on helping you reconnect with your sense of identity, regain emotional clarity, and move toward healthier, more respectful relationships.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Stacie McPherson
Psychologist, M.A., Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse erodes your sense of self slowly—through criticism, manipulation, gaslighting, and control that can be hard to recognize while you're in it. Many of my clients come to therapy questioning their own reality or wondering if they're "overreacting." I help survivors untangle the confusion, name what happened, and begin the process of reclaiming their identity and self-worth. My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and focused on helping you trust your own voice again.

Emotional Abuse
Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Emotional Abuse
Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Emotional abuse can take many different forms. However, it is any type of abuse that hurts you mentally, psychologically or spiritually. Sometimes it is hidden and subtle and you may second guess yourself. Even those close to you may not see it. I will work with you in a non-blaming way to take ownership in how you participate in the relationship and if needed, explore past relationships. Sometimes by taking an outside view of the relationship you can see the patterns that have been created and ways you may be empowered to be an agent of change.

Emotional Abuse
Melissa Clark with Fire and Reins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, including chronic invalidation, manipulation, gaslighting, or relational dynamics that have eroded self-trust and emotional safety. This work is centered on helping you slow down and make sense of what you’ve been through without minimizing or over-identifying with it.
Together, we focus on rebuilding a grounded sense of self—strengthening your ability to recognize patterns, trust your internal experience, and separate your voice from the messages you may have absorbed in harmful relational dynamics. We also attend to the nervous system impact of prolonged emotional stress, supporting regulation and a greater capacity to feel safe in your own perceptions and choices.
This is a careful, paced process aimed at restoring clarity, agency, and a deeper sense of stability in how you relate to yourself and others.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who have been in relationships where their feelings, needs, or perceptions were dismissed, minimized, or used against them. Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to name, especially when the relationship also included care, love, or periods of calm. You might relate to feeling confused about what was “real,” wondering if you were too sensitive or overreacting, replaying conversations in your head, or changing your behavior to avoid criticism, withdrawal, or the silent treatment. For many people, these patterns started young, in families where you had to stay tuned in to other people’s moods, keep the peace, or be “easy” so things didn’t get worse. Experiences like this can leave a long imprint: second‑guessing yourself, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, bracing for criticism even when nothing is wrong, or working hard to stay acceptable so conflict doesn’t escalate. You may find yourself feeling small in relationships, even when you are competent and grounded in other areas of your life. Over time, these patterns can shape your sense of self, your nervous system, and what you believe you are allowed to expect from others. In our work together, we make space for what you went through and how it lives in your body and relationships now, and we explore what it means to move forward with more clarity, self‑trust, and choice.

Arvada is a northwest Denver suburb blending a restored olde-town core with decades of comfortable residential growth toward the foothills. Its mental health picture is quietly suburban — family and career stress, aging long-term residents, and adolescent pressures — with the community also touched by the region's shared legacies of school and public violence. Jefferson Center community services and the Denver market provide solid access.
