Emotional Abuse
Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
It is important to understand what emotional abuse is and how it impacts our lives. Often this is subtle subjective experience. One of the most important things to remember is having the ability to be aware, notice the injury. That's the first step.

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
Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Experiencing emotional abuse can leave many marks in your mind, heart and body. If you are recognizing an ongoing tension of being constantly criticized, belittled, or manipulated to believe that you are the only reasons for someone else's problems, I want to support your healing journey and empower you to break unhelpful patterns and invisible dynamics that are keeping you stuck in a toxic environment, situation or relationship.

Emotional Abuse
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Emotional abuse is particularly painful because the very nature of it makes us doubt ourselves, normalize it and feel alone. Perhaps you are even unsure if certain experiences were abusive. Together we can help you understand the nature of abuse, heal your relationship with yourself and process trauma that you may be carrying with you. I also offer coping skills to help you feel safe and build healthier relationships.

Emotional Abuse
Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I'm Kate, an experienced Individual & Couples Therapist specialized in working with adults who have experienced interpersonal trauma. Interpersonal trauma is any unhealthy interaction between yourself and another person and it could occur at any time in your life, yet its impact is felt in the present. You may feel sad, anxious, lack a feeling of self-worth, scared of what’s coming next, struggling in your relationships. Interpersonal Trauma often creates invisible shackles which result in a feeling of being stuck and powerless. We will work together to navigate the impact of emotional abuse to empower you to create the life experience you desire.

Emotional Abuse
Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Emotional abuse can leave invisible scars—chipping away at your self-esteem, creating self-doubt, and making it hard to trust yourself or others. The effects often linger long after the abuse ends, leaving you feeling trapped, confused, or unworthy. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space to process your experiences, rebuild self-worth, and learn healthier patterns of boundaries and connection. Together, we’ll work toward healing from the past, reclaiming your voice, and creating relationships rooted in respect and care.

Emotional Abuse
Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Emotional abuse comes in so many forms, whether from families of origin, peers in school, abusive romantic partners, or workplace environments. This abuse erodes our sense of self, our confidence, and leaves scars long after it ends. These experiences and the negative self beliefs we internalize as a result must be unpacked and understood so that we can create a new narrative for ourselves that is more aligned with our authentic self, and the other person's negative views can be allowed to fade into obscurity.

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
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.
