Therapy for Healing Mother & Father Wounds in Denver, CO & Online Across Colorado, Texas & Virginia
Release the pain of emotionally unavailable or critical parents. Learn to trust, feel secure, and build relationships that truly nurture you.
Still Carrying the Pain of Your Parents?
The pain left by a critical father or an emotionally unavailable mother doesn’t simply fade with time. These wounds can shape how you love, trust, and see yourself—even decades later.
You may be an adult now, but your inner child still remembers the fear, the longing, or the silence you had to live with.
If you’re healing from emotionally unavailable or toxic parents, you might quietly struggle with:
Feeling like you’re never “enough,” no matter what you accomplish
A deep fear of disappointing others or being “too much”
Guilt or anxiety when you try to set boundaries
Difficulty trusting people or letting them truly see you
Constantly seeking validation, approval, or permission to rest
Shame around your needs, feelings, or even your success
A loneliness that lingers, even in your closest relationships
Feel Secure, Worthy, and Free to Blossom
Healing the wounds left by your parents means freeing yourself from the silent pain you had to carry alone.
It’s about unlearning the belief that love must be earned and discovering that you were never “too much” or “not enough.”
This work gently helps you heal your relationship with yourself, and with the men and women in your life, so you can finally feel safe being who you are.
When we you work on parent wounds, you’ll begin to:
Trust your voice and speak your truth with confidence
Say yes to what truly nourishes you, instead of what drains you
Release shame and guilt that were never yours to carry
Choose yourself without fear or apology — because you matter
Reconnect with the parts of you that were silenced or hidden
Feel worthy of love, rest, joy, and peace exactly as you are
Enjoy deeper, more secure relationships with others
I also work with adults that were parented by narcissistic caregivers
“So many of my clients come in believing something is deeply wrong with them. Once they begin to meet their younger parts with compassion, everything starts to soften: relationships, self-worth, even the way they breathe.”
Hello, I’m Carolina, LCSW & I Help Adults Heal Childhood and Family Wounds
I support adults heal from the emotional wounds left by their parents. The mother wounds and father wounds that quietly shape how they see themselves and connect with others.
My work goes beyond quick fixes or symptom relief. I believe true healing comes from understanding and caring for the younger parts of you that never felt seen, safe, or good enough. In our sessions, we don’t rush your pain—we meet it with compassion and curiosity. Together, we bring your inner child out of survival and into healing.
I’m here to help you look at your story in a new way—one that leads to empowerment, peace, and genuine self-acceptance. Because your foundation is not your fate.
My Approach: Heal and Blossom
Together we’ll work on:
Liking Yourself More: Reconnect with the inner child who still longs for love, safety, and acceptance—and learn to give yourself what was once missing.
Releasing the Pain: Process and release the emotional weight carried from your mother or father, so you can feel whole and at ease in your body.
Finding Your Real Voice: Unravel the old beliefs—“I’m too much,” “I don’t matter,” “I have to earn love”—and replace them with truths that empower you.
Feeling Seen and Heard: Experience what it’s like to be fully understood, not minimized, and supported in a space where healing is possible.
Whether you’re in Denver or joining online from Colorado, Texas, or Virginia, our work together will help you feel more grounded, connected, and free to live as your whole self.
FAQs About Therapy for Healing Mother and Father Wounds
Have more questions, visit my FAQ & Rates page here.
1. What is a mother wound?
A mother wound is the emotional pain caused by having a mother who was unavailable, critical, or unable to provide the love and safety you needed. These wounds can lead to patterns of people-pleasing, shame, or feeling “never enough” in adulthood. Healing involves reconnecting with your inner child and learning to meet your own emotional needs with compassion and care.
2. What is the father wound in psychology?
A father wound often develops when a father is distant, rejecting, overly controlling, or emotionally absent. It can affect how you trust, assert yourself, and feel secure in relationships. In therapy, we work to understand how those early experiences shaped your beliefs about yourself and others, so you can begin to rebuild confidence and emotional safety.
3. How do you heal from toxic or emotionally unavailable parents?
Healing from emotionally unavailable or toxic parents takes time, patience, and gentle guidance. Through therapy, you learn to process painful memories, release inherited guilt or shame, and create new, healthy ways of relating to yourself and others. It’s not about blaming your parents—it’s about freeing yourself from patterns that no longer serve you. I also offer childhood trauma therapy.
4. Can therapy really help me heal from my parents’ wounds?
Yes. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore how your past experiences still impact your present life. With the right therapist, you can reconnect with your inner child, build emotional resilience, and begin to feel worthy of love, rest, and connection—just as you are.
