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.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My of my clients have unfortunately been victims of domestic abuse and toxic relationships. Often my clients find it difficult to leave these relationships due to established "trauma bonds". I take a "safety-first" approach which focuses on helping you collect valuable resources in addition to effective skills to prevent or protect you from future violence. I have assissed clients in making police reports, speaking with lawyers and embracing healthy community when necessary. Due to the nature of domestic abuse, I believe it's crucial to focus on increasing self-esteem and autonomy to aid in decreasing feelings of powerlessness. I am here to be your patient ally through recovery.

Caroline Boutefeu
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Domestic abuse or violence 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 ignored, these difficulties can be difficult to cope with 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.
I have extensive experience in supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and I'm trained in evidence based therapies to support you in your healing journey. These therapies include: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD). I'm happy to 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.

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.

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.

Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
I work with adults recovering from coercive control, emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, psychological abuse, and psychologically harmful relationships. I have particular experience supporting survivors from religious, culturally conservative, or highly interconnected communities, where abuse may be minimized, spiritually justified, or complicated by family, communal, or institutional pressures.
Therapy focuses on restoring safety, rebuilding trust in oneself, understanding trauma responses, and working through fear, shame, relational confusion, and the lasting impact of coercive dynamics. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally aware, and attentive to the broader social and meaning-making worlds in which abuse occurs, including experiences of spiritual abuse, religious harm, and loss of community.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’ve experienced abuse, you may still be carrying the invisible weight of it, even long after the situation has ended. Maybe you’re unsure if what you went through “counts” as abuse, or you’ve been told you were too sensitive, overreacting, or to just move on. But deep down, you know something didn’t feel safe, and it’s still affecting you.
We offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where your story will be heard and believed. In therapy, we can gently explore what you’ve been through, how it’s impacted you, and how to begin healing from it, at your pace. We’ll also support you in rebuilding your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth.
You deserve support. You deserve to feel safe. And you don’t have to heal alone.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
