Therapy can help rebuild self-esteem and autonomy after experiencing emotional abuse. I can show you what a healthy relationship looks like. Ideally, you will learn that they you not to blame for the abuse. Traumatized people are often reluctant to share details of their abuse.

Emotional abuse is often overlooked. When we can't see wounds, it is easier to ignore or justify them. We understand the trauma of living with or encountering emotional abuse and the negative impacts it can have on our lives. We are empathic to this process and would be happy to help you process your experiences of abuse and find hope and empowerment to move forward.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
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.

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.

It is important to understand what emotional abuse is and how it impacts our lives. Often this is subtle subjective experience. One of the most important things to remember is having the ability to be aware, notice the injury. That's the first step.

Have you been involved in a toxic relationship or have you been raised in emotional abuse?
Sometimes the messaging and the experiences stick: you may have been silenced and the abuser's voice may have been internalized - you find yourself with an active internal critic - you take a step forward only to be set back again.
CareWay offers several psychotherapy modalities which could help you overcome the effects of emotional abuse and find your true voice.
