Emotional Abuse
Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Childhood abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, can leave lasting impacts in our lives, impacting the ways we feel about ourselves, about those we love, and about our sense of safety and belonging in the world. If you find it difficult to trust others, to manage your feelings effectively, or to come to terms with events that have happened in your past, working with a trauma-informed therapist open up a world of new possibilities. Emotion focused therapy is a tested therapy that is effective for processing past attachment and relationship trauma and abuse. When seeking to heal from abuse, it is important to find a therapist who listens carefully, who knows when to help you speed up or slow down, and who can help you to safely manage the big feelings that often stem from past trauma. Book today for a free consultation. We are here to help you to find a therapist who is the right fit for your needs.

Emotional Abuse
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, and even harder to heal from. It doesn’t leave visible scars, but it can deeply impact your self-esteem, sense of safety, and ability to trust yourself or others. Maybe you were constantly criticized, gaslit, manipulated, or made to feel like your needs didn’t matter. You might still be second-guessing your experience, wondering if it was “bad enough” to count.
In therapy, we’ll hold space for your story without judgment or minimization. We’ll help you unpack the impact of emotional abuse, reconnect with your sense of self, and start setting boundaries that feel empowering instead of scary. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel seen, supported, and safe in your relationships, especially the one with yourself.

Emotional Abuse
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Emotional abuse can be deeply confusing — especially when you are trying to sort out whether harmful behavior is rooted in trauma, neurodivergence, emotional dysregulation, executive functioning challenges, personality patterns, or something more manipulative.
Part of this work is helping you move beyond self-doubt, gaslighting, or oversimplified “red flag” lists and instead better understand patterns, impact, accountability, boundaries, and how your nervous system is responding.
My approach is nuanced, practical, and compassionate. Together, we explore what is happening in your relationships, how those dynamics are affecting your wellbeing, and how to strengthen clarity, self-trust, and safer, healthier ways of relating — without reducing complex human behavior to one label alone.

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.

Emotional Abuse
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
ASR Counselling and Psychotherapy, Attachment and Trauma-informed
Registered Social Worker, HonBA, BSW, MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified
Emotional abuse can feel like, "it hits you from behind." Sometimes taking years to fully realize its impact. Whether from childhood or adulthood, emotional abuse can leave you struggling with self doubt, feeling flawed, incomplete, not good enough. It can cause internal conflict where you may have even lost trust in yourself. The goal becomes to heal the inner conflict by addressing the parts of you that are wounded. To create unity inside where a sense of acceptance and self compassion is restored, or created.

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.

Emotional Abuse
Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, confused, or unsure of yourself in relationships? Many people who have experienced emotional abuse learn to question their feelings, minimize their pain, or adapt themselves to avoid conflict or rejection. You may have been told you were “too sensitive”, made to doubt your perceptions, or felt responsible for keeping the peace—leaving you disconnected from your own needs and sense of self.
These responses are not weaknesses. They are protective strategies that developed in environments where safety, validation, or consistency were missing. What matters is how these patterns continue to shape your life now. Together, we can gently process your experiences, rebuild trust in your inner voice, and work toward feeling more grounded, empowered, and lighter in your relationships. You adapted for a reason. Let’s explore why—and what healing can look like now.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Emotional abuse is not only defined by visible behaviors, but also by the lasting impact it has on one’s inner world and sense of self. In therapy, we work toward understanding these experiences through a more compassionate lens, not from self-blame and toward making sense of what you’ve been through. This process includes identifying harmful patterns, and rebuilding a more grounded and authentic sense of self.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Creating a safe and supportive environment to begin the healing work following emotional abuse is a priority for me in my work with clients. I know first hand the impact emotional abuse has on one's ability to engage in relationships and I want to help people regain trust in themselves to identify and maintain healthy relationships with others. Working on boundaries and personal values is a key part of this process as well as exploring underlying traumas and abuses.

Emotional Abuse
Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Many people who come to me are victims of emotional abuse. It is often very difficult for victims of emotional abuse to feel validated as many people discount emotional abuse. They say things like, "Oh come on, that's not real abuse like physical or emotional abuse." But it is very real and often goes right to the heart of a person's identity. People who have suffered emotional abuse have often been associated with narcissists who 'taught' them how to feel bad about themselves and put others ahead of them. When we work together on emotional abuse a lot of the therapy will consist of helping you recognize and validate your feelings. We will also help you to recognize your strengths and discover different parts of yourself that can be effective resources.

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.

Vaughan is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities and part of the Greater Toronto Area's northern expansion, with a large Italian-Canadian community alongside growing South Asian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern populations creating a diverse and evolving therapy demand. The city's relative newness as a major population center means its private therapy infrastructure is still developing, and many residents access care in Toronto or through telehealth. Mackenzie Health's Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital — one of Canada's newest major hospitals — provides institutional resources, and the broader GTA ecosystem of therapists is accessible for those willing to travel or use online platforms. Vaughan's affluent suburban character means therapy is financially accessible for many, though stigma barriers in some cultural communities remain a consideration.
