Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
I use attachment theory to understand how the dynamics of your early relationships may be impacting how you relate to yourself and others as an adult, and how to make mindful changes.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It can feel disorienting or unsafe to get to know yourself, especially if you've come across people with such contagious emotions that you don't know what feelings are yours. You don't have to do this alone. My approach centers our relationship as a priority and you may even find that learning IFS (internal family systems) as an approach may help you to experience more safety within your own body.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Codependent relationships can feel hopelessly stuck, seemingly impossible to leave or to negotiate. Unconscious emotions and patterns are often at work, interacting with our partner in ways we feel we don't have control over. Being able to talk deeply about this can lead to increasing understanding and freedom, as patterns and personal histories begin to make sense. Clarity can emerge, and with that the possibility of autonomy and choice.

Nisrine Maktabi
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Psychology
Codependency runs rampant in our societies today. Codependency is a sign of abandoning, giving up yourself and losing your true voice out of fear of not getting others validation, approval and praise. Enmeshed families are especially detrimental to your self esteem when you give up your own needs and desires in order to give others the daughter, sister, or wife they want. Together we help your psychic inner child grow up with you so that they do not have to keep you acting in codependent ways.

Codependency reveals a complex dance of enmeshment and emotional dependency rooted in early relational patterns. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and past traumas, individuals navigate relationships characterized by excessive care taking, people-pleasing, and a blurred sense of self. Like tendrils reaching from the past, these patterns perpetuate cycles of dysfunction and reinforce feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. Therapy offers a transformative space for unraveling these intricate dynamics, fostering awareness of unhealthy relational patterns and reclaiming autonomy and self-worth. Through healing attachment wounds and addressing underlying trauma, individuals can cultivate healthier boundaries and authentic connections, breaking free from the chains of codependency and rediscovering the power of their own agency and identity.

Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Codependency can look so different from person to person and relationship to relationship. Often times when we are in these types of relationships, we can feel fully dependent on others to meet all our attachment needs and can feel extremely powerless, insecure, and fearful when these needs aren't met. For others, it can look like needing to take control of most aspects of the relationship and our partners to create a sense of certainty and security, which can leave us in distress when we lose that "control". I hope to help you understand your feelings and needs, learn how to express those to your partner, set healthy boundaries, and build independence and internal self-esteem.
