Domestic Abuse
Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Domestic abuse or violence can be confusing and disheartening. I can help you to find clarity in your circumstances. I have experience and knowledge of power and control issues in relationships. Many people do not even understand what constitutes abusive. Abuse can come in many forms. It can mean intimidating your partner by not letting them feel heard or by making one afraid by looks, actions, gestures or displaying weapons. Emotional abuse can mean putting your partner down, making them feel bad about themselves, or calling them names. Over time these forms of abuse can be very damaging. If you are ready for a change and want peaceful resolutions, please feel free to contact me for a free 20-minute consultation today. I offer online sessions in Canada, BC. or in-person sessions in Langley or White Rock, BC.

Domestic Abuse
Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Domestic Abuse or violence are experiences that are very difficult to work through. Working with a therapist who has experience and calm with these issues are key. I see these situations as escalated patterns where a person often gets activated by another person, and reacts with a part of themselves that is an extreme protector. Others experience this a threat and react in a variety of ways they have learned to survive. I believe these patterns can be changed, and relationships can be repaired with effort, willingness to be vulnerable in the work to understand and shift reactivity to more clear and calm responses. I have supported individuals, couple and families make these changes.

Domestic Abuse
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You're living through one of life's most painful and dangerous experiences. Before anything else, you need to feel truly heard, believed, and validated—not questioned or judged. Once we've established that safety, we'll create a practical plan to protect you moving forward, whether you're ready to leave or still figuring out your next step. Then, when you're ready, we'll gently explore how past trauma shaped the beliefs that made this relationship possible—the ways you learned to minimize yourself, doubt your reality, or accept the unacceptable. Healing is possible. Safety is possible. You deserve both, and I'll support every step forward.

Domestic Abuse
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Recovering from an abusive relationship requires a therapist who understands the profound impact of power, control, and fear on the human system. Drawing on over 15 years of experience on the frontlines of high-intensity crisis and mental health settings, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you make sense of your experience.
We work together to address the Complex PTSD and survival strategies—like numbing or hyper-vigilance—that your system developed to keep you safe. My approach is deeply compassionate and focused on your current stability. Together, we work to help your 'parts' feel truly secure again, moving you from the shadow of the past toward a life of autonomy and genuine peace.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Domestic abuse and violence are tragically more common than many realize—and far more common than they should be. It often begins subtly, when one person in a close relationship becomes frustrated or emotionally unsettled, and begins to mistreat the other. At first, the behavior might seem minor—cutting remarks, dismissive tones, or small acts of disrespect. But when left unaddressed, these behaviors can intensify, growing more damaging over time.
Abuse tends to follow a disturbing pattern: pain and frustration in the more powerful individual are often displaced onto the less powerful, creating a cycle of harm marked by confusion, fear, anger, and diminishing well-being for everyone involved. If this cycle continues unchecked, it can escalate into serious physical and emotional abuse—and in the most extreme cases, even torture or death.
Daniel experienced this firsthand. As a youth, he was an innocent bystander in his own home, where unresolved anger and violence ultimately led to his hospitalization. From that experience, he came to understand the madness and tragedy of this cycle—how it is fueled by unprocessed emotional pain and the absence of healthy intervention.
Today, Daniel dedicates himself to helping others break free from the chaos. Through his work, he seeks to unravel the pain and confusion at the heart of abuse, foster understanding, and guide individuals and families toward healing, freedom, and the possibility of a safer, more compassionate future.
