Emotional Abuse
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Emotional abuse and emotional neglect contribute to profound psychological distress and leave invisible wounds and scars that can last a lifetime. Whether you are currently living with or have lived in a home where you have felt like you are 'walking on eggshells' trying to avoid verbal attacks, intimidation, manipulation or humiliation, OR you are experiencing a nagging emptiness, lack of fulfillment, emotionally 'running on empty' - I am here for you.
I will hold a compassionate, safe space for you to rise above the lingering feelings of obligation, shame, guilt and fear. Working together as a team, we will mindfully explore what has happened or hasn't, and what is important to you for living a rich and meaningful life. We will lean into self-compassion, becoming aware of what you need to heal while developing healthy boundaries to empower self-determination.

Emotional Abuse
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.

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
Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Providing psychoeducation on what Emotional Abuse is, is the first step. Emotional abuse can include:
constant yelling; name calling, demeaning remarks or threats; physically or socially isolating an individual; withholding affection; bullying or public humiliation; exposure to family violence; denying something an individual knows is true (gaslighting); destroying an individual’s belongings, hurting their pets, or threatening to do so amongst other things.
One of the hardest things a person has to do is stop being in denial when someone you love is mistreating you. Through DBT I will teach you assertiveness training, distress tolerance, self-acceptance and cognitive reframing so that you can reclaim your self worth.

Milton has been among Canada's fastest-growing communities for two decades, a Halton Region town at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment that has drawn thousands of young, diverse families — including large South Asian communities — to new subdivisions and long commutes across the Greater Toronto Area. Newcomer settlement stress, commute strain on couples, and youth mental health in rapidly filling schools define local need, and services have struggled to keep pace with growth. Halton's community programs and the GTA's large therapy market, plus virtual care, fill the gap.
