Emotional Abuse
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional abuse is a form of psychological manipulation that undermines an individual's self-worth, confidence, and overall mental well-being. It can take many forms, including verbal insults, constant criticism, intimidation, humiliation, and controlling behaviors. Unlike physical abuse, emotional abuse often leaves no visible scars, making it difficult for victims to recognize or articulate their experience. This type of abuse can lead to long-lasting effects such as anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of self. Recognizing the signs of emotional abuse is crucial for those affected, as it enables them to seek help and support. Recovery often involves therapy, support groups, and developing healthy coping strategies to rebuild self-esteem and establish boundaries. Prioritizing emotional health and seeking to break free from toxic relationships can ultimately lead to healthier, more positive interactions in the future.

Emotional Abuse
Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Providing psychoeducation on what Emotional Abuse is, is the first step. Emotional abuse can include:
constant yelling; name calling, demeaning remarks or threats; physically or socially isolating an individual; withholding affection; bullying or public humiliation; exposure to family violence; denying something an individual knows is true (gaslighting); destroying an individual’s belongings, hurting their pets, or threatening to do so amongst other things.
One of the hardest things a person has to do is stop being in denial when someone you love is mistreating you. Through DBT I will teach you assertiveness training, distress tolerance, self-acceptance and cognitive reframing so that you can reclaim your self worth.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
It is time for you to begin to heal from the things that have happened to you. To begin to see that the abuse - whether it happened when you were a child, or later in life - does not define you. To create new ways of thinking about yourself and about others.
You don't have to keep trying to please others, to struggle silently on the inside, to feel like you can't trust others and to put others' needs consistently above your own.
You don't have to do it alone - together we can explore and challenge some of the beliefs that you might hold right now the ones that say: "it was something I did", "there's something wrong with me", "I'm broken or permanently damaged". We can help you re-regulate your nervous system and be more in control of your emotions and behaviour.
Our goal is to help you regain power and control in your life and to release some of the heaviness that you've been carrying. W want you to begin seeing the world as a space in which trust and safety are not foreign concepts. A world in which you don't have to hide from your past or distract yourself to get through the day.
We want therapy to work for you and a huge part of that is fit between you and your therapist. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Emotional abuse and emotional neglect contribute to profound psychological distress and leave invisible wounds and scars that can last a lifetime. Whether you are currently living with or have lived in a home where you have felt like you are 'walking on eggshells' trying to avoid verbal attacks, intimidation, manipulation or humiliation, OR you are experiencing a nagging emptiness, lack of fulfillment, emotionally 'running on empty' - I am here for you.
I will hold a compassionate, safe space for you to rise above the lingering feelings of obligation, shame, guilt and fear. Working together as a team, we will mindfully explore what has happened or hasn't, and what is important to you for living a rich and meaningful life. We will lean into self-compassion, becoming aware of what you need to heal while developing healthy boundaries to empower self-determination.

Emotional Abuse
Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Emotional abuse is a traumatic experience that often occurs to an individual over the course of years, sometimes by more than one person. I work with my clients to understand the impact emotional abuse has had on them - the way they view themselves and the world. Through deep empathy and compassion, I work with my clients to have compassion for themselves, and what they went through. By gaining insight and not identifying with the emotional abuse, individuals are able to move forward no longer carrying that burden.

Emotional Abuse
Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Emotional abuse often leaves invisible scars that can be just as impactful as physical ones. It can leave you questioning your reality, struggling with a loud inner critic, or feeling like you are constantly walking on eggshells. In our sessions, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to unpack the profound impact these experiences have had on your self-esteem and your ability to trust—both yourself and others.
My approach is deeply relational and trauma-informed. We can use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a powerful tool to help your brain and body "digest" the distressing memories and negative beliefs (like "I’m not enough" or "I’m at fault") that often linger after emotional abuse. By weaving in IFS and psychodynamic insights, we’ll work to quiet the inner critic and reconnect you with your own voice. My goal is to help you move from a state of confusion or "fawn" responses toward a life of clarity, boundaries, and reclaimed self-worth.

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.

Emotional Abuse
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Emotional abuse is particularly painful because the very nature of it makes us doubt ourselves, normalize it and feel alone. Perhaps you are even unsure if certain experiences were abusive. Together we can help you understand the nature of abuse, heal your relationship with yourself and process trauma that you may be carrying with you. I also offer coping skills to help you feel safe and build healthier relationships.

Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
Do you feel wounded, frustrated, confused, misunderstood, depressed, anxious, or worthless any time you interact with your partner? Chances are high that your relationship is emotionally abusive.
Emotional or psychological abuse includes blaming, bullying, coercing, cursing, frightening, gaslighting, harassing, humiliating, isolating, manipulating, name-calling, threatening, or otherwise controlling another person.
Sometimes, it's overt, but it can also be covert in that it can be difficult to recognize. It can range from subtle contemptuous remarks or hostile humour that leave you questioning your self-worth to starting arguments to isolating you from others.
No matter what form it takes, this type of abuse can have devastating psychological consequences that can wear down your self-esteem and undermine your mental health.
I applaud you for taking it an important first step in considering getting help. As an abused partner, you can feel isolated, alone and scared. And it takes courage to reach out to and ask for support.
Know that I'm here for you. I'm listening and ready to help you put your emotionally abusive relationship into perspective while also providing tools for overcoming it. Know this - you don't have to deal with this alone, and it's NOT your fault!
