Emotional Abuse Therapy
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.

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.

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.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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.

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.

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.

Emina Hendricks, CareWay.ca
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., R.P.
Have you been involved in a toxic relationship or have you been raised in emotional abuse?
Sometimes the messaging and the experiences stick: you may have been silenced and the abuser's voice may have been internalized - you find yourself with an active internal critic - you take a step forward only to be set back again.
CareWay offers several psychotherapy modalities which could help you overcome the effects of emotional abuse and find your true voice.

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.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy Services
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.

Lori-Ann Wesley
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
Emotional abuse is far too common and has devastating effects. One must work on gaining self-esteem looking at the past to see what occurred to cause them to be in this situation now to heal past wounds and to gain the tools to deal with their current situation.

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.

Lauren Jin Yong 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.
