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.

Dr. Evelyn McMullen
Psychologist, C. Psych.
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.

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.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced emotional abuse, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body. We use trauma-informed approaches to help you feel less overwhelmed, and create safety in the present.

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, 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. I provide support for those struggling with relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, and complex trauma.

EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
If you have experienced emotional abuse then you may have the tendency to downplay it and not consider it to be akin to "big T trauma", like physical and sexual abuse. Although research and clinical experience shows that chronic, childhood emotional abuse can cause significant disturbance, destabilization and psychic fragmentation in adulthood. We will take your emotional abuse history seriously and use an attachment-focused EMDR Therapy and IFS lens to process the traumatic memories and the betrayal component in it. Guided Imagery and Resource Tapping to fill the deficit trauma would then be used to give your emotional brain and nervous system what they needed, but which they didn't receive when the abuse was happening. Email me for a free 30-min phone consultation to discuss more.
