Emotional Abuse
Yasmin Rombola-Bacchus
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, Registered Psychotherapist, Dipl. Psych.
Emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse, often leaving invisible scars on self-esteem, trust, and overall emotional health. I offer a compassionate and safe space for individuals to heal from the psychological effects of manipulation, control, and verbal harm. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care, I help clients break free from negative patterns, rebuild self-worth, and develop healthy coping strategies. My approach focuses on empowering clients to regain their emotional independence, trust themselves, and navigate relationships with a sense of strength and clarity.

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
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Emotional abuse can gradually erode self-trust, confidence, emotional stability, and one’s sense of reality. I support adults navigating manipulation, coercive dynamics, fear, shame, relational confusion, and the emotional aftermath of psychologically harmful relationships. As survivors begin to gain distance from abusive dynamics, space often emerges for deeper healing, clarity, and reconnection with self-trust. In many cases, their experiences have been dismissed or minimized — sometimes by religious authorities, family members, or the broader social system surrounding the abuser — leaving them feeling silenced, confused, and unsure of their own reality.

Emotional Abuse
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Emotional abuse can be deeply isolating because the wounds are often invisible, yet the impact on your sense of self is profound. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand how persistent gaslighting, criticism, and control can cause your 'parts' to shut down or live in a state of constant self-doubt.
My approach is to help you rebuild the internal trust that was eroded in your relationship. We look at the survival strategies you developed to cope with the unpredictability of your environment and work to strengthen your own 'inner voice.' Together, we create a compassionate path toward reclaiming your reality, your boundaries, and your confidence.

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.

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.

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.
