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.

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.

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.

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.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
Codependency is a complex emotional and behavioral condition that often arises in relationships marked by an unhealthy level of emotional reliance or control. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach codependency with an integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, understanding the deep-seated roots that often drive these patterns.
Our therapy sessions are designed to unpack the multifaceted layers of codependency. We delve into how past experiences, possibly stemming from childhood or previous relationships, have shaped current behaviors and emotional responses. Recognizing that codependency often originates from a place of trauma or unmet emotional needs, we provide a safe and empathetic space for exploration and healing.
In addressing codependency, we employ a blend of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual’s needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps in identifying and altering detrimental thought patterns and behaviors. At the same time, our relational approach fosters a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics. We also incorporate mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Our goal is not just to break the cycle of codependency but to empower individuals to build healthier, more autonomous relationships. This involves cultivating self-esteem, learning to set healthy boundaries, and developing effective communication skills. We guide you in recognizing your own needs and values, encouraging a journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
Through virtual sessions, we offer the convenience and comfort of accessing therapy from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized support. Begin your path to recovery from codependency with Collaborative Care Therapy, and discover the strength in building balanced, fulfilling relationships.
