Emotional Abuse
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
The lingering impact of emotional abuse can deeply distort your reality, leaving your nervous system untethered from your own intuition and somatic boundaries. I offer a dedicated, slow relational anchor for clients in Vancouver to help process the systemic confusion and grief of these dynamics. Together, we will gently work to dissolve internalized blame, allowing you to safely rebuild absolute trust in your own perception and bodily knowing.

Samaha Sufyan
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Healing from emotional abuse requires a safe space to rebuild trust—my trauma-informed EFCT approach aids survivors, especially mothers and couples, in recognizing patterns and restoring self-compassion. Emotional abuse erodes the spirit, but my specialized work with immigrant families uses relational tools to mend those wounds.

Emotional Abuse
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.

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
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
Lori-Ann Wesley
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P., C.C.T.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.

Emotional Abuse
Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Emotional abuse can slowly erode confidence, self-trust, boundaries, and your sense of reality. You may feel confused, anxious, ashamed, or responsible for someone else’s behaviour. Therapy can help you name what happened, understand its impact, rebuild self-worth, and begin reconnecting with your own voice and needs.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
Over time emotional abuse erodes your trust and confidence in your own sense of reality. It can feel like you can no longer tell left from right or up from down. If you find yourself in this difficult state of uncertainty and confusion please don't further isolate yourself. Find a trusted loved one or professional that you can begin asking the tough questions and sorting through the fog together with.

Emotional Abuse
Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Emotional abuse often leaves no visible evidence, which makes it harder to name and harder to trust your own experience of it. You may have grown up being told you were too sensitive, too much, or not enough. The confusion, self-doubt, and hypervigilance that follow are not character flaws. They are adaptations to an environment that was not safe to be yourself in. I work with the body to help you begin to trust your own perceptions again and reclaim the parts of yourself that went into hiding.

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.

Emotional Abuse
Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Emotional abuse comes in so many forms, whether from families of origin, peers in school, abusive romantic partners, or workplace environments. This abuse erodes our sense of self, our confidence, and leaves scars long after it ends. These experiences and the negative self beliefs we internalize as a result must be unpacked and understood so that we can create a new narrative for ourselves that is more aligned with our authentic self, and the other person's negative views can be allowed to fade into obscurity.

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.

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.
