Emotional Abuse Therapy
Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional abuse is the most hidden but widespread form of abuse, and is just as damaging as physical or sexual abuse. As your therapist, I can help you to recognize and understand the abusers in your life and their impact on your wellbeing. We will work to heal the damage of abuse and prevent future abuse by building skills for self-esteem and self-compassion. If you have experienced any form of abuse, I will encourage you to feel your anger and to release this anger in a constructive way. Anger empowers us and helps us to put the responsibility for the abuse where it belongs, instead of on ourselves.

Emotional abuse can cause anger, depression and major self esteem issues. We will deconstruct these messages in a safe and supportive environment.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It can feel disorienting and unsafe to get to know yourself, especially if you've come across people with such contagious emotions that you don't know what feelings are yours. You don't have to do this alone. My approach centers our relationship as a priority and you may even find that learning IFS (internal family systems) as an approach may help you to experience more safety within your own body.

Maria Christopoulos
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., M.Sc., RP
Emotional abuse can affect the way one views themselves and the world around them. Providing an individual a safe environment to work through their negative experiences and create new and positive core beliefs can help an individual build confidence and decrease negative emotions.

Elena Serra
Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (RP-Q)
Emotional abuse is an underrated type of complex trauma and abuse. It often starts in childhood and has long-lasting consequences in adolescence and adulthood. If you feel insecure, unworthy, and unwanted, or if you find yourself in a pattern of toxic relationships, I would like to work with you on developing self-confidence, self-esteem, and more fulfilling relationships.

Lauren Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
What's most important to me is ensuring you feel safe and comfortable enough to express your concerns. It takes courage to reach out for help and I commend you for taking this step. Together, we can work through and better understand your concerns, factors underlying those experiences, and perhaps identify mechanisms that have once but no longer serve you in your life. Above all, therapy and the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool for transformative healing.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced emotional abuse, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body. We use trauma-informed approaches to help you feel less overwhelmed, and create safety in the present.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
I work with individuals through a trauma informed approach to understand what has happened to them in abusive relationships and support client's deep healing while holding a safe space for this to occur. Through understanding and going inside to develop this awareness, client's begin to see themselves in a new light with decrease in anxiety, fear and low self esteem.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
We often minimize experiences of emotional abuse, but research shows that emotion abuse in childhood is associated with the highest rate of trauma responses. Emotional abuse can impact our sense of safety in the world, our self-esteem, and the narratives we have about ourselves and others. Whenever it occurs in our life, emotional abuse can impact the way in which we navigate our relationships. We may feel anxious, unsafe, confused, conflicted, protective, or distant in relationships. Whether you experienced emotional abuse in childhood or adulthood, I support people to deepen awareness of their response to those experiences, develop self-compassion and self-acceptance, challenge their inner critic, establish healthy relationships, and develop self-esteem.
