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
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
Lynn A. Paulus, Psy.D

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
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
Emotional abuse can be subtle, confusing, and deeply destabilizing. It often involves patterns of control, manipulation, gaslighting, invalidation, or chronic criticism that erode a person’s sense of self over time. Many survivors question their own perceptions or minimize their experiences, especially when there are no visible injuries or when care and harm coexist.
In therapy, I offer a space to gently explore your experiences without pressure to label them before you’re ready. Our work focuses on restoring trust in your own reality, understanding how abusive dynamics take shape, and supporting your nervous system as it recovers from chronic relational stress. Therapy is paced, consent-centered, and grounded in compassion—helping you reconnect with your voice, rebuild boundaries, and move toward relationships that feel safe, mutual, and affirming.

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.
