Emotional Abuse
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.

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.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
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.

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
Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
I help clients to understand that abuse is what happens to us, not who we are. Again, I use a client-centred compassion-for-self approach. I also use EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to map out the traumatic memory network and begin rewiring our beliefs and physiological responses to the triggers or memories.

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
Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Emotional abuse can leave invisible scars—chipping away at your self-esteem, creating self-doubt, and making it hard to trust yourself or others. The effects often linger long after the abuse ends, leaving you feeling trapped, confused, or unworthy. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space to process your experiences, rebuild self-worth, and learn healthier patterns of boundaries and connection. Together, we’ll work toward healing from the past, reclaiming your voice, and creating relationships rooted in respect and care.

Ty Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RP
I have worked extensively in these situations and know that it can be very tough to be able to know where to turn to during these moments. I am here to support you and to help you understand your emotions and feelings during these moments and to navigate what are the options for you, especially when it can feel suffocating or scary.

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.

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
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Emotional abuse is not only defined by visible behaviors, but also by the lasting impact it has on one’s inner world and sense of self. In therapy, we work toward understanding these experiences through a more compassionate lens, not from self-blame and toward making sense of what you’ve been through. This process includes identifying harmful patterns, and rebuilding a more grounded and authentic sense of self.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
