Coercive control is a form of psychological abuse where one person uses manipulation, intimidation, and domination to control another. It can leave deep scars on individuals and families, even when no physical violence is present.
Coercive control/abuse is not gender specific. Men can also be victiums of coercive control.
Theresa provides specialized support for those who have experienced coercive control, offering both validation and practical strategies for healing. She helps clients recognize the patterns of control, rebuild a sense of safety, and develop tools to move forward confidently. This work is especially important for parents, as children can be weaponized to inflact harm and suffering on to the parent who has been targeted.
Theresa approaches these cases with sensitivity and expertise, ensuring that clients feel understood without judgment. The goal is not only to recover from the trauma of coercive control but also to build healthier patterns for the future. For families, this support can be transformative — allowing them to step out of fear and reclaim their independence and stability.
Theresa is located in Winnipeg but provides services nationwide.
