I provide a safe, empathetic space for individuals to explore and heal from the often invisible wounds caused by manipulation, control, and psychological harm.

Through trauma-informed, client-centred therapy, I support individuals in setting healthy boundaries, processing their experiences, and fostering resilience on their path to recovery and self-empowerment.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
If you feel afraid, controlled, diminished, or unsafe in a relationship, your experience matters. Over time, emotional abuse can lead to confusion, self doubt, anxiety, depression, and loss of confidence. You may feel unable to trust your own perceptions due to gaslighting, or isolated from family, friends, and support networks. Therapy can help you reclaim confidence in your perceptions and decisions, challenge internalized blame or criticism, develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, rebuild a sense of agency and self worth, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

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.

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.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional abuse is often overlooked. When we can't see wounds, it is easier to ignore or justify them. We understand the trauma of living with or encountering emotional abuse and the negative impacts it can have on our lives. We are empathic to this process and would be happy to help you process your experiences of abuse and find hope and empowerment to move forward.
