Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced emotional abuse, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. 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.

Emotional Abuse
Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Over time emotional abuse erodes your trust and confidence in your own sense of reality. It can feel like you can no longer tell left from right or up from down. If you find yourself in this difficult state of uncertainty and confusion please don't further isolate yourself. Find a trusted loved one or professional that you can begin asking the tough questions and sorting through the fog together with.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

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.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Evelyn McMullen
Psychologist, C. Psych.
Learning how to identify all forms of abuse including gaslighting can be a big step. The impact of early childhood trauma can carry into adult life. You can find ways to heal, strengthen, and mitigate some of these effects without having to actually relive the past.

Emotional Abuse
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Emotional abuse can leave you doubting your reality, minimizing your needs, or feeling trapped in shame, fear, or confusion. Therapy can help you rebuild trust in yourself, understand the impact of harmful relational patterns, and begin strengthening boundaries and self-worth. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space to process what happened and reconnect with your own voice.

Emotional Abuse
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Emotional abuse can gradually erode self-trust, confidence, emotional stability, and one’s sense of reality. I support adults navigating manipulation, coercive dynamics, fear, shame, relational confusion, and the emotional aftermath of psychologically harmful relationships. As survivors begin to gain distance from abusive dynamics, space often emerges for deeper healing, clarity, and reconnection with self-trust. In many cases, their experiences have been dismissed or minimized — sometimes by religious authorities, family members, or the broader social system surrounding the abuser — leaving them feeling silenced, confused, and unsure of their own reality.

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.
