Emotional Abuse
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Emotional abuse can be hard to name, and even harder to heal from. It doesn’t leave visible scars, but it can deeply impact your self-esteem, sense of safety, and ability to trust yourself or others. Maybe you were constantly criticized, gaslit, manipulated, or made to feel like your needs didn’t matter. You might still be second-guessing your experience, wondering if it was “bad enough” to count.
In therapy, we’ll hold space for your story without judgment or minimization. We’ll help you unpack the impact of emotional abuse, reconnect with your sense of self, and start setting boundaries that feel empowering instead of scary. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel seen, supported, and safe in your relationships, especially the one with yourself.

Emotional Abuse
Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Emotional abuse can leave lasting scars that impact self-worth, trust, and overall mental health. Survivors of emotional abuse often struggle with feelings of shame, self-doubt, and difficulty trusting others, making it hard to break free from toxic patterns. Through solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), individuals can heal from past trauma, rebuild self-esteem, and develop healthy, fulfilling relationships. Therapy provides the tools needed to recognize the signs of emotional abuse, set boundaries, and regain personal power. Healing from emotional abuse is a journey of reclaiming control, restoring confidence, and creating a healthier, more positive future.

Emotional Abuse
Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Interpersonal relationships are difficult and therapy can serves as an empowering space to explore difficulties such as emotional abuse. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Emotional Abuse
Nalin Bisnath
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, PhD
Emotional abuse has long lasting effects on our mental health and can interrupt decision making, sleep patterns and everyday functioning. The absence of 'physical scars' often leaves you questioning your self-worth, doubting whether you are worthy of love and whether the abuse is actually happening. Whether you've experienced gaslighting, narcissistic abuse in a romantic relationship, family dynamic or workplace, I offer a safe space to validate your emotional experience, silence the inner critic and re-connect with your own voice.

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.
