Emotional Abuse
Keri Signoracci
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, especially when it occurs alongside strong attachment or long-term relationships. I help clients identify patterns of manipulation, invalidation, power imbalance, and erosion of self-trust. Therapy focuses on restoring clarity, boundaries, and a stronger internal sense of reality and agency.

Emotional Abuse
Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
Many people who come into therapy, no matter the issue, have experienced emotional abuse. Often they do not even realize it at first. It can be overt or covert, very direct or very subtle. In therapy we get to the root conditioning behind our present individual or relationship struggles. Emotional abuse is a very common root behind chronic blushing, excessive sweating, social anxiety, depression, addictions, eating disorders, body image issues, sexual issues, and more. If you are struggling with anything like this, reach out. I would love to help you.

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
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
Michelle Fagan
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
People who have experienced emotional abuse frequently question the severity of their experiences. Perhaps they tell themselves it's not THAT bad or that some people have it way worse. If you are feeling lost, defeated, and empty because of a relationship, you may be experiencing emotional abuse. Healing from emotional abuse is rooted in re-connecting with yourself, building your confidence, and trusting your boundaries. I look forward to doing this work with you.

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
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Emotional abuse is often a pattern that is repeated throughout life until the root cause memory is recovered and the inner child is able to release long-suppressed emotions and express them to the antagonist. This is done in the childhood regression in a safe and loving way. Once the inner child gets to express the unmet needs, the weight is lifted, the emotions are processed, and they no longer play on a loop. You are now free to move on and choose peaceful, liberating alternatives. Together we customize the hypnotic programming for this as well as any motivational work required. I empower you with a tool you can use every morning to go from dread to inspiration in only a few minutes and face the day with joy instead of fear. Ultimately, we signal to your nervous system that you are safe again; safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We reinforce emotional regulation and give you tools you can apply in minutes to regain emotinal equilibrium and return your body to homeostasis, should you feel triggered or overwhelmed.

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
Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Emotional abuse doesn't always leave a mark you can point to, which is part of why it's so hard to name. I help you trust what you actually experienced, understand how it shaped the way you relate to yourself and other people now, and work through it at a pace your nervous system can actually handle.
