Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
The effects of emotional abuse and neglect can leave deep wounds—even when there are no visible scars.
Perhaps you’ve spent years walking on eggshells, anticipating criticism, intimidation, manipulation, or rejection. Or maybe your experience was quieter: feeling unseen, emotionally disconnected, or as though you were constantly “running on empty.” You may now find yourself struggling with self-doubt, guilt, shame, fear, or difficulty trusting yourself and others.
Attachment-focused EMDR can be an important part of healing these experiences. Together, we can gently explore the relationships and experiences that shaped your sense of safety, self-worth, and connection, while processing memories and emotional patterns that may continue to affect you today.
Our work will be collaborative and compassionate, with space to understand your needs better, strengthen self-compassion, and develop healthier boundaries. We’ll focus not only on what happened, but also on what you need now to feel more grounded, connected, and secure in yourself.
You don’t have to continue living from the patterns that once helped you survive. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move toward relationships and a life that feel safer, healthier, and more authentically your own.

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.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel on edge, confused, or unsure of yourself in relationships? Many people who have experienced emotional abuse learn to question their feelings, minimize their pain, or adapt themselves to avoid conflict or rejection. You may have been told you were “too sensitive”, made to doubt your perceptions, or felt responsible for keeping the peace—leaving you disconnected from your own needs and sense of self.
These responses are not weaknesses. They are protective strategies that developed in environments where safety, validation, or consistency were missing. What matters is how these patterns continue to shape your life now. Together, we can gently process your experiences, rebuild trust in your inner voice, and work toward feeling more grounded, empowered, and lighter in your relationships. You adapted for a reason. Let’s explore why—and what healing can look like now.

Samaha Sufyan
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Healing from emotional abuse requires a safe space to rebuild trust—my trauma-informed EFCT approach aids survivors, especially mothers and couples, in recognizing patterns and restoring self-compassion. Emotional abuse erodes the spirit, but my specialized work with immigrant families uses relational tools to mend those wounds.
