Samantha Diminutto
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
A common neurodivergent relationship trait is that we sometimes struggle with codependent relationship dynamics. We tend to be big-hearted humans, and so from a place of positive intention we may take on overfunctioning caretaking roles in relationship, or in contrast - we may need more support from partners of other people in our lives and fall into codependency quite by accident. In my couples counselling and individual sessions I can help you to differentiate between healthy relationship behaviours and what may be needing some tweaking for your wellbeing.

Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Growing up in a home with an Alcoholic parent can be an unstable experience. You never know what to expect. If you have experienced chaos in your childhood, dealt with unpredictable mental state of your parent, and witnessed and responded to ongoing unsafe situations, then this will be familiar to you. In an unpredictable home, it can be difficult to trust yourself and your experiences. To survive, and avoid, sometimes you need to bottle up your feelings so much that you forget how to experience emotions. When your needs are ignored, seeking approval from others can result in losing your own identity. Feeling responsible for others can outweigh your own needs and wellbeing.
I have been providing counselling services in the community since 2014. I have supported many people who have a loved one struggling with addiction. I am excited to support you as you heal from some or all of the above experiences. Counselling can also help you set healthier boundaries in relationships and start putting your own needs and safety first.

Codependency is a relationship pattern where a person supporting someone they care about and giving of themselves at the cost of their own mental, emotional, and physical health.
