Gibson & Associates: Psychotherapy, Counselling + Consulting
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Abuse is not always physical; in fact, most underreported abuse is emotional in nature. This encompasses everything from put downs to threats and manipulation, to living with someone who has narcissistic tendencies, to feeling like your emotions are not valid. It can start with our parents or come about in friendships, romantic relationships or even work relationships. If you feel you have experienced emotional abuse, please reach out to us and we can begin to address its impact on your life.

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Emotional abuse can leave deep, invisible scars, making you question your worth and leave you feeling isolated. If you are or have experienced emotional abuse, it's crucial to understand that you are not alone and that what you have gone through is not your fault. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect, and therapy can help you reclaim your sense of self-worth. It's okay to seek help and prioritize your well-being -- you deserve to live a life free from abuse.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Interpersonal relationships are difficult and therapy can serves as an empowering space to explore difficulties such as emotional abuse. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Counsellor/Therapist, RSSW
Emotional abuse is a type of trauma that can have long-lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. It involves consistent patterns of behavior from a person who seeks to control, manipulate, or demean their partner or loved one. Emotional abuse can take many forms, such as constant criticism, name-calling, belittling, withholding affection or attention, and even gaslighting.
It is essential to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, to help them process their trauma and develop healthy coping strategies. I strive to provide a space to explore the impact of emotional abuse on your self-esteem, trust, and relationships, and work toward healing and recovery. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and you do not have to face emotional abuse alone.
