Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Recovering from an abusive relationship requires a therapist who understands the profound impact of power, control, and fear on the human system. Drawing on over 15 years of experience on the frontlines of high-intensity crisis and mental health settings, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you make sense of your experience.
We work together to address the Complex PTSD and survival strategies—like numbing or hyper-vigilance—that your system developed to keep you safe. My approach is deeply compassionate and focused on your current stability. Together, we work to help your 'parts' feel truly secure again, moving you from the shadow of the past toward a life of autonomy and genuine peace.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
You're living through one of life's most painful and dangerous experiences. Before anything else, you need to feel truly heard, believed, and validated—not questioned or judged. Once we've established that safety, we'll create a practical plan to protect you moving forward, whether you're ready to leave or still figuring out your next step. Then, when you're ready, we'll gently explore how past trauma shaped the beliefs that made this relationship possible—the ways you learned to minimize yourself, doubt your reality, or accept the unacceptable. Healing is possible. Safety is possible. You deserve both, and I'll support every step forward.
