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.

AAC provides trauma-informed, supportive care for individuals impacted by emotional abuse.

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
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
Lynn A. Paulus, Psy.D
Psychologist, Rocky Mountain Psychotherapy Services, LLC
My approach with people who are in emotionally abusive relationships is to define what abuse is, explore the impact on the individual and discuss how to set healthy boundaries (using "The Book of Boundaries" and "Set Boundaries, Find Peace").

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.
