Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Being in a relationship that feels unsafe can be confusing, isolating, and frightening. Abuse may start subtly—a hurtful remark or disregard for your needs—and escalate over time, affecting you emotionally, psychologically, financially, or sexually. Some may struggle to recognize the pattern, others may feel trapped, often with concerns for their children. I provide a safe, compassionate space to process these experiences, rebuild personal safety, and regain a sense of control. Drawing on my experience as a trauma clinician in Canada and India, I support women in navigating the journey toward healing and empowerment.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
We believe you and it's not your fault. Let's start with this because it's important.
Regardless of whether you call it domestic abuse, domestic violence, or interpersonal violence, this form of trauma and abuse can occur in the context of romantic or family relationships and can include physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The effects of this form of abuse can have seriously implications on a survivor's mental and physical health. Common effects are depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD and Complex PTSD as well as injury, chronic pain, and disability. If left untreated, these difficulties will not resolve and often survivors will notice that they continue to experience patterns of abuse in future relationships.
If you're going through it right now, or have been battling the symptoms for a while, you might feel hopeless and alone. You might not believe that it is possible to get help and for things to improve. Domestic abuse does not have to be a life sentence - at New Moon Psychotherapy we work extensively with survivors of domestic violence and are trained in evidence based therapies to help you recover. These therapies include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD), Sensimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy.
We will work with you at any stage that you're at and whatever situation you're in - if you are still in the abusive situation and do not want to leave or are contemplating leaving, if you have recently left or have been away from the abuse for a while. We promise not to judge, to work with you at your pace, and to tailor your treatment plan to your needs.
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation to learn how we can help and have your questions answered.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
I have successfully worked with well over one hundred Victim Service clients as a Mental Health Worker /Counsellor. Most of these clients were victims of domestic violence. Leaving such a relationship often involves a mourning process. I have provided safety, along with education and awareness involving the difficulties in leaving such a relationship.
Many victims of domestic violence are in denial or do not recognize the behavior as abuse , as normal is what we live. These challenges involve perceived or real fear of retaliation or further harm, in addition to the economic reasons of financial or housing dependence on the abuser. Self blame particularly cultural or family pressures leads to internalized oppression and discourages speaking out. Their fear of not being. believed or being judged is among the most common reason that victims suffer in silence. For those sustaining the pain of domestic abuse I provide an understanding of this process in addition to offering these clients ,guidance, resources as well as the self agency to be able to achieve freedom from this mistreatment.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in helping survivors of domestic abuse and violence find healing by restoring personal safety-emotionally, physically, and spiritually. My approach starts with understanding how deeply abuse affects your nervous system, often leading to chronic fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, and sometimes PTSD. Together, we assess the fear, shame, and pain you carry, looking at broken boundaries and internalized abuse. By grounding in reality and building trust in the healing process, I guide you to reconnect with your inner strength and true identity. Having navigated long-term domestic abuse myself, I know the path to grieving the wounded self and reclaiming a sense of safety and spiritual alignment. My work focuses on creating a steady, compassionate space where you can rebuild trust in yourself and find peace in your body and soul.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
