Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
Do you feel wounded, frustrated, confused, misunderstood, depressed, anxious, or worthless any time you interact with your partner? Chances are high that your relationship is emotionally abusive.
Emotional or psychological abuse includes blaming, bullying, coercing, cursing, frightening, gaslighting, harassing, humiliating, isolating, manipulating, name-calling, threatening, or otherwise controlling another person.
Sometimes, it's overt, but it can also be covert in that it can be difficult to recognize. It can range from subtle contemptuous remarks or hostile humour that leave you questioning your self-worth to starting arguments to isolating you from others.
No matter what form it takes, this type of abuse can have devastating psychological consequences that can wear down your self-esteem and undermine your mental health.
I applaud you for taking it an important first step in considering getting help. As an abused partner, you can feel isolated, alone and scared. And it takes courage to reach out to and ask for support.
Know that I'm here for you. I'm listening and ready to help you put your emotionally abusive relationship into perspective while also providing tools for overcoming it. Know this - you don't have to deal with this alone, and it's NOT your fault!

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Emotional abuse can be deeply isolating because the wounds are often invisible, yet the impact on your sense of self is profound. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand how persistent gaslighting, criticism, and control can cause your 'parts' to shut down or live in a state of constant self-doubt.
My approach is to help you rebuild the internal trust that was eroded in your relationship. We look at the survival strategies you developed to cope with the unpredictability of your environment and work to strengthen your own 'inner voice.' Together, we create a compassionate path toward reclaiming your reality, your boundaries, and your confidence.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Emotional Abuse is the umbrella of all abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, institutional and several other kinds of abuse. It is the part of all abuse that causes the trauma and untold, long term harm. The body-mind is incredible and will do what it needs to do to survive. Explore automatic reactions you resent and gently mould them into the firm actions you choose. Explore your inner world and find the path you long to take.

Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
