Kim Michael
Counsellor/Therapist, RP, MACP, CHT,CTP
Thrive Through Therapy takes a warm, collaborative, and client-centred approach grounded in a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial framework. Care considers the whole person—the biological, psychological, and social factors that shape wellbeing—while honouring each client's cultural background, identity, and lived experience. Through a multicultural and trauma lens, sessions create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.
Drawing on evidence-based modalities including CBT, ACT, and PACT for couples, care is always tailored to each person's unique story, needs, and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all model. The focus is on safety, trust, and empowerment—helping clients build practical tools, deeper self-understanding, and meaningful change as they move from surviving to thriving.

Emotional Abuse
Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional abuse, with its insidious and often hidden impact, can leave deep and lasting scars. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach the healing process from emotional abuse with a compassionate, integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the nuanced ways in which this abuse affects individuals.
In our therapy sessions, we create a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to unpack the effects of emotional abuse. We understand that this form of abuse can undermine self-esteem, distort self-perception, and create a lingering sense of fear or inadequacy. Our goal is to help you recognize and challenge these harmful internalized messages and beliefs.
Our treatment approach is multifaceted, employing evidence-based methods tailored to your individual healing journey. We often use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and beliefs instilled by emotional abuse. In addition, techniques like mindfulness can help in developing present-moment awareness and reducing anxiety, while emotion-focused therapy can assist in understanding and regulating complex emotions that arise from such experiences.
Being trauma-informed, we pay special attention to the traumatic aspects of emotional abuse. We work collaboratively with you to rebuild trust, not only in the therapeutic relationship but also within yourself. Our focus is on empowering you to regain a sense of control and self-worth.
Through our phased approach to therapy, we aim to help you move from a place of hurt and confusion to one of clarity and strength. This journey involves learning to set healthy boundaries, improving self-compassion, and fostering positive, respectful relationships in the future.
Our virtual therapy sessions offer the convenience and comfort of accessing support from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized care. With Collaborative Care Therapy, embark on a path to healing from emotional abuse and rediscover a sense of self-worth and confidence.

Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
I help clients to understand that abuse is what happens to us, not who we are. Again, I use a client-centred compassion-for-self approach. I also use EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to map out the traumatic memory network and begin rewiring our beliefs and physiological responses to the triggers or memories.

Emotional Abuse
Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Many of my clients have been victims of emotional abuse. Often the abuse begins in childhood and continues through adult relationships. Gaslighting, stonewalling, steamrolling, criticizing, negging, and grey rocking are just a few forms of emotional abuse. In session I will support you through psychoeducation, grieving trauma bonds, confronting betrayal, and building a stronger, healthier sense of self. My goal is to be compassionate and patient as I know from personal experience that the process of freeing yourself from these relationships is never linear.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced emotional abuse, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body. We use trauma-informed approaches to help you feel less overwhelmed, and create safety in the present.

Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Emotional abuse can leave lasting scars that impact self-worth, trust, and overall mental health. Survivors of emotional abuse often struggle with feelings of shame, self-doubt, and difficulty trusting others, making it hard to break free from toxic patterns. Through solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), individuals can heal from past trauma, rebuild self-esteem, and develop healthy, fulfilling relationships. Therapy provides the tools needed to recognize the signs of emotional abuse, set boundaries, and regain personal power. Healing from emotional abuse is a journey of reclaiming control, restoring confidence, and creating a healthier, more positive future.

Emotional Abuse
Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
My experience with offering counselling to Victim Service Clients afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with victims of emotional abuse daily. .Emotional abuse denotes any nonphysical behavior or attitude that is designed to control, intimidate, subjugate, demean, punish, or isolate another person. Emotional abuse is not only the most pervasive, but the least understood form of maltreatment. Its victims are often dismissed simply because their wounds are not visible. So, the pain and torment of those who experience "only" emotional abuse is often trivialized which is dangerously wrong. Emotional abuse scars the heart and damages the soul. Like cancer, it does its most deadly work internally. And, like cancer, it can metastasize if untreated.” Because emotional abuse comes in so many forms (and so many disguises), recognition is often the first key to effective response. I have provided education and awareness involving the emotional and social complexities in ending such a relationship. By imparting these individuals with self -acceptance, this can have an enormous impact on the creation or resolution of their internal struggles which allows them to further grow and develop their self identity. Although leaving any relationship often involves a mourning process, I have empowered many clients to do just so.

Emotional abuse can be subtle or overt, but its impact is profound. It may involve manipulation, belittling, gaslighting, or constant criticism that erodes your sense of self-worth, confidence, and safety. Over time, you may feel trapped, anxious, or hyper-aware of others’ moods, often questioning your own perceptions and decisions.
In therapy, I provide a safe and validating space to process these experiences, rebuild self-esteem, and develop boundaries. Together, we focus on reclaiming your voice, strengthening resilience, and cultivating healthier relationships with yourself and others.

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.
