Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you find yourself constantly prioritizing others at the expense of your own needs, struggling to say no, or feeling responsible for how everyone around you feels, you may be experiencing patterns of codependency. You might feel anxious when others are upset, overextend yourself to keep the peace, or tie your sense of worth to being needed.
At Selah Counselling, we approach codependency with compassion and clarity. These patterns often develop from early attachment experiences in which love felt conditional or in which safety required self-sacrifice. Together, we explore where these beliefs began and gently build new patterns rooted in healthy boundaries and secure identity. Our work focuses on strengthening self-awareness, learning to tolerate discomfort without rescuing, and developing mutually beneficial relationships rather than imbalanced ones. The goal is not to become hardened or detached, but to love others from a place of strength, steadiness, and self-respect.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You don’t have to lose yourself to be loved.
If you find yourself overgiving in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling anxious when you're not needed, you may be dealing with codependent patterns. These often come from early wounds and parts of us that equate love with self-sacrifice or people-pleasing. As someone who specializes in dating and relationships—and is currently writing a book on dating through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—I help you identify the parts of you that fear being alone, not enough, or too much. Together, we’ll untangle old patterns, heal the underlying wounds, and reconnect you with your True Self—so you can build relationships from a place of wholeness rather than need.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Codependency can trap you in cycles of unhealthy relationships, where you may prioritize others' needs over your own and struggle to set boundaries. In therapy, we’ll work to identify patterns of codependency, explore their roots, and develop healthier relational dynamics. I’ll guide you in building stronger self-esteem and teaching you how to balance care for yourself with care for others. With compassionate support, you can break free from these patterns and cultivate more authentic, fulfilling connections.

Shelley Westergard
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, MACP, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, BA, Addictions Certificate
Codependency is a phenomenon that I find not discussed too often anymore. I look at it as when a person becomes dependent on helping or "fixing" another person. I work with clients to uncover their own sense of self, to seperate what they (can/should/need) to do for who they are underneath these beliefs.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Codependency can come from non-secure attachment, a conflicted environment and from trauma when we are young. The central nervous system/brain can be re-set/balanced such that secure attachment is achieved and the emotional and chemical charges are deleted so healthy relationships are experienced.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When we keep trying to put other people's needs ahead of our own, we lose ourselves in terms of our self-care and our self-respect. Often families do this with the addicts they love - and it creates a lose-lose situation for everyone concerned,

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency is a complex behavioural condition that can deeply impact relationships. It often involves relying heavily on another person for emotional support, self-worth, and even a sense of identity. This can create an environment where one's own needs and well-being take a backseat to the feelings and needs of the other person, which can be exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling.
If you find yourself struggling with codependency, know that you are not alone. Many people face challenges in setting boundaries, expressing their own needs, or maintaining a sense of individuality. You might feel a strong urge to please others, grapple with low self-esteem, or experience anxiety when you’re apart from someone you care about.
It's important to recognize and address these feelings, as doing so can pave the way for healthier, more balanced relationships. Seeking support through therapy, engaging in self-reflection, and developing self-care practices can be transformative steps on your journey toward emotional independence and personal growth. Remember, breaking the cycle of codependency is not only possible, but it can also lead to more fulfilling connections with others. Your well-being matters, and taking these steps can help you build a more empowering and satisfying life.

Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
I use the work of Melody Beattie and Codependent No More to support clients with healing Codependency. Trying to fix and change another person, rescuing them, enabling, and saccrificing our own self by focussing on another person in order to feel "ok" are some of the behaviours that we use when we are involved in Codependent relationships. Through education, self awareness, proccessing, and change, we can become free from these kinds of relationships.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
When your internal compass becomes entirely fixed on monitoring the emotional states and safety of others, navigating codependency requires a gentle, slow return to your own body. I provide an affirming, non-judgmental online space in Vancouver to help you explore the wise relational survival strategies that originally led you to deprioritize yourself. Together, we will slow down and listen to your somatic cues, allowing you to reclaim your right to take up space and express your true, authentic self.

Sagewood Counselling & Consultancy
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Co dependency is something many of us have learned or sustained in our closest relationships, and may be understood along a continuum. Many of us feel responsible to carry and / or manage the feelings and choices of others; our sense of self and purpose can be derived from taking care of others. This can lead to us carrying too much of an emotional burden and lead to burnout, frustration and relational distress, especially when others don't want to accept our 'help'. We may have perfectionist tendencies and be fearful of rejection, and have difficulty accepting help when we need it ourselves, and this can cause us to work overly hard and make it difficult to say 'no' and set healthy boundaries. As a result we often feel under appreciated, untrusting, overworked and exhausted. Maybe it's time we worked together to understand where or why we have these tendencies and learn to truly value our most authentic self, ,engage in self care and self love, identify and effectively communicate our needs and to become better at setting healthy boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish or fearing conflict or loss of relationships. Is this something that you struggle with?
