Chris Russell
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Psych, high honours, RCC
This sinister psychic attack is just as damaging as the physical abuse, and often they go together. I am aware of this through personal experience, and through practice and training know how to guide you through and out of emotional abusive situations.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Emotional abuse can deeply affect your sense of self, your ability to trust your own perceptions, and what you come to believe is normal or acceptable in a relationship. You may find yourself constantly second-guessing, walking on eggshells, feeling responsible for someone else’s reactions, or struggling to explain why something feels so wrong. I can help you name what has been happening, understand its impact, rebuild trust in yourself, and gain a sense of strength and empowerment to navigate life the way you want or need.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Emotional abuse can be difficult to recognize, especially when it’s subtle and ongoing. You may find yourself questioning your reality, feeling “not good enough,” walking on eggshells, or carrying a persistent sense of shame, confusion, or self-doubt. Over time, these experiences can shape how you see yourself and relate to others, often leaving you feeling disconnected from your own needs, voice, and sense of safety.
In our work together, we’ll take a trauma-informed approach to gently explore your experiences and their impact, at a pace that feels safe for you. We’ll focus on rebuilding a sense of trust in yourself, understanding how these patterns developed, and creating space for your emotions and experiences to be met with compassion rather than judgment. This process can help you reconnect with your inner voice, boundaries, and sense of self.
I draw from EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your needs. When appropriate, EMDR can help process painful or confusing relational experiences, while other approaches support you in strengthening self-trust, emotional regulation, and healthier relationship patterns. Together, we’ll build practical tools while supporting deeper healing and a more grounded, empowered way of relating to yourself and others.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
The accepting and the giving of emotional abuse is often unconsciously motivated, often coming from what is viewed and experienced growing up in the home or school environment. It comes from low self-esteem and anxiety on the part of both the receiver and the giver of the abuse= familiar patterns.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Emotional abuse can be deeply isolating because the wounds are often invisible, yet the impact on your sense of self is profound. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand how persistent gaslighting, criticism, and control can cause your 'parts' to shut down or live in a state of constant self-doubt.
My approach is to help you rebuild the internal trust that was eroded in your relationship. We look at the survival strategies you developed to cope with the unpredictability of your environment and work to strengthen your own 'inner voice.' Together, we create a compassionate path toward reclaiming your reality, your boundaries, and your confidence.

Any type of abuse, including emotional, could be very difficult to admit to ourselves and others. Getting support in working through the abuse might be the most courage first step we ever take. I invite you to reach out so we can walk together towards your healing.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
The lingering impact of emotional abuse can deeply distort your reality, leaving your nervous system untethered from your own intuition and somatic boundaries. I offer a dedicated, slow relational anchor for clients in Vancouver to help process the systemic confusion and grief of these dynamics. Together, we will gently work to dissolve internalized blame, allowing you to safely rebuild absolute trust in your own perception and bodily knowing.

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada alongside major Telus offices and other technology employers — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and nearby Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
