Emotional Abuse
Brittany Bouffard, LCSW, CYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CYT
If you experienced emotional abuse or neglect in childhood, the ripple effects in adult life and relationships are many. It can impact confidence, use of voice, trust in self and others, attachment style, people-pleasing, difficulty knowing emotions or needs, and much more. I specialize in helping heal developmental (childhood) emotional abuse from emotionally immature parents, enmeshed parents, and parents with mental health illnesses. Please see my full profile for more.

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
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.

Emotional Abuse
Centerpoint Healing; Raphaelle Cuenod
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Emotional abuse leaves invisible wounds-self-doubt, hypervigilance, shame, and a diminished sense of who you are. Our clinicians understand the lasting impact of these dynamics and are trained to help you reclaim your voice and your worth. Using trauma-informed approaches, we work together to process what happened, understand the patterns it created, and rebuild a stronger, more authentic sense of self.

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
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
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.
