Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional abuse is the most hidden but widespread form of abuse, and is just as damaging as physical or sexual abuse. As your therapist, I can help you to recognize and understand the abusers in your life and their impact on your wellbeing. We will work to heal the damage of abuse and prevent future abuse by building skills for self-esteem and self-compassion. If you have experienced any form of abuse, I will encourage you to feel your anger and to release this anger in a constructive way. Anger empowers us and helps us to put the responsibility for the abuse where it belongs, instead of on ourselves.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
I work with individuals through a trauma informed approach to understand what has happened to them in abusive relationships and support client's deep healing while holding a safe space for this to occur. Through understanding and going inside to develop this awareness, client's begin to see themselves in a new light with decrease in anxiety, fear and low self esteem.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
Emotional abuse, with its insidious and often hidden impact, can leave deep and lasting scars. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach the healing process from emotional abuse with a compassionate, integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the nuanced ways in which this abuse affects individuals.
In our therapy sessions, we create a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to unpack the effects of emotional abuse. We understand that this form of abuse can undermine self-esteem, distort self-perception, and create a lingering sense of fear or inadequacy. Our goal is to help you recognize and challenge these harmful internalized messages and beliefs.
Our treatment approach is multifaceted, employing evidence-based methods tailored to your individual healing journey. We often use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and beliefs instilled by emotional abuse. In addition, techniques like mindfulness can help in developing present-moment awareness and reducing anxiety, while emotion-focused therapy can assist in understanding and regulating complex emotions that arise from such experiences.
Being trauma-informed, we pay special attention to the traumatic aspects of emotional abuse. We work collaboratively with you to rebuild trust, not only in the therapeutic relationship but also within yourself. Our focus is on empowering you to regain a sense of control and self-worth.
Through our phased approach to therapy, we aim to help you move from a place of hurt and confusion to one of clarity and strength. This journey involves learning to set healthy boundaries, improving self-compassion, and fostering positive, respectful relationships in the future.
Our virtual therapy sessions offer the convenience and comfort of accessing support from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized care. With Collaborative Care Therapy, embark on a path to healing from emotional abuse and rediscover a sense of self-worth and confidence.

Emotional, mental and narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling isolated, uncertain and full of self-doubt, questioning your reality, low in confidence, feeling detached, anxious, having difficulty trusting, as well as feeling an immense amount of guilt and shame.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
We often minimize experiences of emotional abuse, but research shows that emotion abuse in childhood is associated with the highest rate of trauma responses. Emotional abuse can impact our sense of safety in the world, our self-esteem, and the narratives we have about ourselves and others. Whenever it occurs in our life, emotional abuse can impact the way in which we navigate our relationships. We may feel anxious, unsafe, confused, conflicted, protective, or distant in relationships. Whether you experienced emotional abuse in childhood or adulthood, I support people to deepen awareness of their response to those experiences, develop self-compassion and self-acceptance, challenge their inner critic, establish healthy relationships, and develop self-esteem.

Emotional abuse is far too common and has devastating effects. One must work on gaining self-esteem looking at the past to see what occurred to cause them to be in this situation now to heal past wounds and to gain the tools to deal with their current situation.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It can feel disorienting and unsafe to get to know yourself, especially if you've come across people with such contagious emotions that you don't know what feelings are yours. You don't have to do this alone. My approach centers our relationship as a priority and you may even find that learning IFS (internal family systems) as an approach may help you to experience more safety within your own body.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., R.P.
Have you been involved in a toxic relationship or have you been raised in emotional abuse?
Sometimes the messaging and the experiences stick: you may have been silenced and the abuser's voice may have been internalized - you find yourself with an active internal critic - you take a step forward only to be set back again.
CareWay offers several psychotherapy modalities which could help you overcome the effects of emotional abuse and find your true voice.

Learning how to identify all forms of abuse including gaslighting can be a big step. The impact of early childhood trauma can carry into adult life. You can find ways to heal, strengthen, and mitigate some of these effects without having to actually relive the past.

What's most important to me is ensuring you feel safe and comfortable enough to express your concerns. It takes courage to reach out for help and I commend you for taking this step. Together, we can work through and better understand your concerns, factors underlying those experiences, and perhaps identify mechanisms that have once but no longer serve you in your life. Above all, therapy and the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool for transformative healing.

Emotional abuse is an underrated type of complex trauma and abuse. It often starts in childhood and has long-lasting consequences in adolescence and adulthood. If you feel insecure, unworthy, and unwanted, or if you find yourself in a pattern of toxic relationships, I would like to work with you on developing self-confidence, self-esteem, and more fulfilling relationships.
