Emotional Abuse Therapy
Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Creating a safe and supportive environment to begin the healing work following emotional abuse is a priority for me in my work with clients. I know first hand the impact emotional abuse has on one's ability to engage in relationships and I want to help people regain trust in themselves to identify and maintain healthy relationships with others. Working on boundaries and personal values is a key part of this process as well as exploring underlying traumas and abuses.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
Emotional abuse, with its insidious and often hidden impact, can leave deep and lasting scars. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach the healing process from emotional abuse with a compassionate, integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the nuanced ways in which this abuse affects individuals.
In our therapy sessions, we create a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to unpack the effects of emotional abuse. We understand that this form of abuse can undermine self-esteem, distort self-perception, and create a lingering sense of fear or inadequacy. Our goal is to help you recognize and challenge these harmful internalized messages and beliefs.
Our treatment approach is multifaceted, employing evidence-based methods tailored to your individual healing journey. We often use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and beliefs instilled by emotional abuse. In addition, techniques like mindfulness can help in developing present-moment awareness and reducing anxiety, while emotion-focused therapy can assist in understanding and regulating complex emotions that arise from such experiences.
Being trauma-informed, we pay special attention to the traumatic aspects of emotional abuse. We work collaboratively with you to rebuild trust, not only in the therapeutic relationship but also within yourself. Our focus is on empowering you to regain a sense of control and self-worth.
Through our phased approach to therapy, we aim to help you move from a place of hurt and confusion to one of clarity and strength. This journey involves learning to set healthy boundaries, improving self-compassion, and fostering positive, respectful relationships in the future.
Our virtual therapy sessions offer the convenience and comfort of accessing support from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized care. With Collaborative Care Therapy, embark on a path to healing from emotional abuse and rediscover a sense of self-worth and confidence.

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.
