Emotional Abuse
Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I provide a safe, empathetic space for individuals to explore and heal from the often invisible wounds caused by manipulation, control, and psychological harm. Emotional abuse can deeply affect self-worth, trust, and one’s sense of reality, and my approach focuses on helping clients recognize abusive patterns, rebuild their identity, and regain emotional strength. 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.

Emotional Abuse
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.

Emotional Abuse
Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.

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.

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.

Angelica Esposito - AE Therapy

Emotional abuse can leave lasting effects on your self-esteem, confidence, and ability to trust yourself and others.

Therapy can provide a supportive space to process these experiences, understand their impact, and reconnect with your own needs, boundaries, and sense of self. Together, we can work toward rebuilding self-trust, strengthening your sense of safety, and helping you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
