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.

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
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.

Childhood abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, can leave lasting impacts in our lives, impacting the ways we feel about ourselves, about those we love, and about our sense of safety and belonging in the world.

Emotion focused therapy is a tested therapy that is effective for processing past attachment and relationship trauma and abuse. When seeking to heal from abuse, it is important to find a therapist who listens carefully, who knows when to help you speed up or slow down, and who can help you to safely manage the big feelings that often stem from past trauma. Book today for a free consultation. We are here to help you to find a therapist who is the right fit for your needs.

Emotional Abuse
Kim Michael
Counsellor/Therapist, RP, MACP, CHT,CTP
Thrive Through Therapy takes a warm, collaborative, and client-centred approach grounded in a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial framework. Care considers the whole person—the biological, psychological, and social factors that shape wellbeing—while honouring each client's cultural background, identity, and lived experience. Through a multicultural and trauma lens, sessions create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.
Drawing on evidence-based modalities including CBT, ACT, and PACT for couples, care is always tailored to each person's unique story, needs, and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all model. The focus is on safety, trust, and empowerment—helping clients build practical tools, deeper self-understanding, and meaningful change as they move from surviving to thriving.

The lingering impact of emotional abuse can deeply distort your reality, leaving your nervous system untethered from your own intuition and somatic boundaries.

Emotional Abuse
Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Experiencing emotional abuse can leave many marks in your mind, heart and body. If you are recognizing an ongoing tension of being constantly criticized, belittled, or manipulated to believe that you are the only reasons for someone else's problems, I want to support your healing journey and empower you to break unhelpful patterns and invisible dynamics that are keeping you stuck in a toxic environment, situation or relationship.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I specialize in guiding survivors of emotional abuse toward healing by deeply validating their experiences and creating a safe space to release the pain and shame held in their hearts. In my Toronto practice, we explore how emotional abuse-whether through hurtful words, control, gaslighting, or manipulation-has impacted you, focusing on freeing your soul from that burden. Together, we work on detaching from the abuser's lingering influence, grieving the connection, and letting go of internalized emotional baggage.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional abuse, with its insidious and often hidden impact, can leave deep and lasting scars. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach the healing process from emotional abuse with a compassionate, integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, recognizing the nuanced ways in which this abuse affects individuals.
In our therapy sessions, we create a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to unpack the effects of emotional abuse. We understand that this form of abuse can undermine self-esteem, distort self-perception, and create a lingering sense of fear or inadequacy. Our goal is to help you recognize and challenge these harmful internalized messages and beliefs.
Our treatment approach is multifaceted, employing evidence-based methods tailored to your individual healing journey. We often use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and beliefs instilled by emotional abuse. In addition, techniques like mindfulness can help in developing present-moment awareness and reducing anxiety, while emotion-focused therapy can assist in understanding and regulating complex emotions that arise from such experiences.
Being trauma-informed, we pay special attention to the traumatic aspects of emotional abuse. We work collaboratively with you to rebuild trust, not only in the therapeutic relationship but also within yourself. Our focus is on empowering you to regain a sense of control and self-worth.
Through our phased approach to therapy, we aim to help you move from a place of hurt and confusion to one of clarity and strength. This journey involves learning to set healthy boundaries, improving self-compassion, and fostering positive, respectful relationships in the future.
Our virtual therapy sessions offer the convenience and comfort of accessing support from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized care. With Collaborative Care Therapy, embark on a path to healing from emotional abuse and rediscover a sense of self-worth and confidence.
11 Years Experience
Online in Toronto, ON Ontario (Online Only)
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.
