Domestic Abuse or Violence
Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Domestic abuse is a distressing pattern of harmful behaviour in relationships where one partner seeks to exert power and control over the other. This insidious cycle can manifest in various forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse. If you find yourself feeling fear, isolation, or a diminishing sense of self-worth, it’s important to know that you are not alone.
Many people may struggle to recognize the signs of domestic abuse, and that’s okay. It can be difficult to see your experiences as abusive when you’re caught in such a challenging situation. There is support available for you, including hotlines, shelters, and counseling services that understand what you’re going through. You deserve to feel safe and supported as you navigate this difficult journey.
Remember, you are not alone in this. There is help available to help you break the cycle of abuse and reclaim your life. By raising awareness and having open discussions about domestic abuse, we can create a more compassionate and understanding community, ultimately promoting healthier and safer relationships for everyone.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
From my earliest years, a deep-seated commitment to justice took root in me, sparked by the passion of a Harvard-educated lawyer portrayed by Barry Newman in the television series Petrocelli. This attorney, forsaking the allure of Wall Street wealth, dedicated himself to serving the voiceless and underserved, often for a symbolic one-dollar fee. This childhood inspiration propelled me to pursue a legal career at the University of Buenos Aires to become a criminal lawyer at the age of 22. Although my professional journey led me through roles as an actor and ordained minister, culminating in my current roles as a psychotherapist and coach, I never strayed from my passion to protect the innocent and champion justice whenever needed.
Over the last few decades, I have intentionally immersed myself in the realm of domestic violence and abuse, driven by a conviction that, while understanding the roots of such actions in the trauma and pain of the perpetrators, we must stand firm to halt the cycle of violence and protect the victims. Though navigating this work while victims are still ensnared within the power dynamics of abuse is delicate and perilous, it brings extraordinary fulfillment to assist someone in breaking free. In rare cases, I've had the privilege of aiding abusers in turning their lives around.
Given my background as a criminal lawyer, minister, and specialized psychotherapist, it is my profound honour to support those in need, guiding them to break free from the grips of abuse and use their traumatic experiences as a catapult toward a life of fulfillment, freedom, and empowerment. The journey from victimization to liberation is undoubtedly treacherous and delicate, yet it stands as one of the most fulfilling paths one can take when breaking free from any form of abuse or violence.
Please don't hesitate to reach out, knowing that I stand ready to be in your corner, offering suggestions and guidance on how to avoid further harm and, ultimately, emerge free from the shackles of abuse or violence.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Caroline Boutefeu
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Domestic abuse or violence can occur in the context of romantic or family relationships and can include physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The effects of this form of abuse can have seriously implications on a survivor's mental and physical health. Common effects are depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD and Complex PTSD as well as injury, chronic pain, and disability. If left ignored, these difficulties can be difficult to cope with and often survivors will notice that they continue to experience patterns of abuse in future relationships. If you're going through it right now, or have been battling the symptoms for a while, you might feel hopeless and alone.
I have extensive experience in supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and I'm trained in evidence based therapies to support you in your healing journey. These therapies include: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD). I'm happy to work with you at any stage that you're at and whatever situation you're in - if you are still in the abusive situation and do not want to leave or are contemplating leaving, if you have recently left or have been away from the abuse for a while.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Sarah Kaleem
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Do you have intrusive memories or nightmares about past incidents where you experienced physical abuse? Do you feel 'stuck' in these past experiences and notice that these experiences have impacted your ability to feel safe, trust others, love yourself, or feel connected to others? If you have been told by a health care professional that you may have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or trauma-related symptoms, then you have come to the right place. I offer extensive work with PTSD and trauma using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is designed to help you process your trauma by helping you to feel 'unstuck'. We will discuss you trauma(s) and the thoughts and feelings you may be having about it. You will participate in a journey of analyzing these thoughts closely and allowing your therapist to help you understand your trauma in a different way.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Recovering from an abusive relationship requires a therapist who understands the profound impact of power, control, and fear on the human system. Drawing on over 15 years of experience on the frontlines of high-intensity crisis and mental health settings, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you make sense of your experience.
We work together to address the Complex PTSD and survival strategies—like numbing or hyper-vigilance—that your system developed to keep you safe. My approach is deeply compassionate and focused on your current stability. Together, we work to help your 'parts' feel truly secure again, moving you from the shadow of the past toward a life of autonomy and genuine peace.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Being in a relationship that feels unsafe can be confusing, isolating, and frightening. Abuse may start subtly—a hurtful remark or disregard for your needs—and escalate over time, affecting you emotionally, psychologically, financially, or sexually. Some may struggle to recognize the pattern, others may feel trapped, often with concerns for their children. I provide a safe, compassionate space to process these experiences, rebuild personal safety, and regain a sense of control. Drawing on my experience as a trauma clinician in Canada and India, I support women in navigating the journey toward healing and empowerment.
