Emotional Abuse
North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber

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.

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
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.

Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
All of us go through the winding footpaths of life and at one point in time experience moments that create long lasting impacts and changes in ourselves, our environment, and in the trajectory of our lives. Sometimes those experience can be positive, and sometimes they are negative. These negative experiences are we we define as traumatic events. Emotional Abuse is absolutely considered traumatic. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles and create a custom treatment plan to overcome them. Head over to our website to learn more!
The experience of trauma and traumatic events can be painful and excruciating. Sometimes these experiences leave us at more than just at a loss, but can continue to cause us pain and fear. These experiences can alter the way your mind works. Creating physical and emotional responses to triggers that remind you of your trauma. Even when you are unaware of these triggers, you can be left feeling overactive and hyper-vigilant to certain moments and interactions. The post traumatic consequences (often known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD) of these triggers is that you can feel like you are on constant alert to prevent future danger and pain; even when there is none to be presently found. If left untreated it can lead to one feeling loss and overwhelmed and increase rates of risky or dangerous behaviours (i.e. increased aggression and violence, increased substance use, increased physical and mental distress).
Our goal is help you heal. We offer a safe space and environment to begin the process of talking about your pain as a means to start processing what had happened to you. Talking about trauma doesn't always mean retelling your story. We work with each individual uniquely in order to find the path of healing that is more effective for them. We utilize a variety of techniques including a highly effective form of trauma therapy called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help folks through this process in order to help you rediscover hope and empowerment. Understanding our past gives us an ability to take control what we want our future to look like. We believe that all people deserve to live a life free from fear and pain, all of us deserve a little help along the way.

My approach to therapy for survivors of emotional abuse is grounded in safety, trust, and empowerment. I provide a compassionate space where clients can process the impact of past experiences, recognize unhealthy patterns, and rebuild a sense of self-worth. Using evidence-based strategies such as trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and boundary-setting skills, I help clients develop tools to manage anxiety, rebuild confidence, and navigate relationships more safely. My goal is to support clients in reclaiming their voice, fostering resilience, and creating healthier connections with themselves and others.
