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.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I have extensive experience facilitating group and one-on-one art therapy for survivors of domestic abuse. I understand how abuse can distort your sense of self, leaving you feeling disconnected or unheard. Art therapy provides a safe space to process complex emotions, express what feels difficult to put into words, and rebuild self-worth. Through creative expression, you can reclaim your voice, restore a sense of control, and reconnect with your inner strength. My trauma-informed approach integrates mindfulness and body-based practices, allowing you to process at your own pace while fostering resilience and empowerment.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse or violence, you may feel afraid, confused, ashamed, or unsure of what is normal anymore. Abuse can be physical, emotional, psychological, financial, or spiritual. It often erodes confidence and creates a cycle of fear and self-doubt that is difficult to break. You may question your own perceptions or feel responsible for keeping the peace.
At Selah Counselling, your safety and dignity are our priority. We provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and be believed. We help you understand patterns of abuse, rebuild clarity, and strengthen emotional and practical safety planning when needed. Our work focuses on restoring your sense of agency, helping regulate the nervous system after trauma, and rebuilding an identity that may have been diminished over time. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate it alone.

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.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Counselling can help if clients are experiencing domestic abuse or violence. It is often difficult to seek help because we start believing we deserve it, or we are afraid to stand up for ourselves, we're afraid the abuser will get worse, or we don't know how we'll survive financially. There is help out there and support from trained professionals who have often experienced domestic abuse themselves. Safety is the number one concern. Clients will experience relief when they are able to get help because they'll learn there is life outside of abuse. It is possible to heal and thrive after abuse.
