Peter Stathakos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, BBA, MDiv, MSW, CMAT, CSAT
Depending on others' approval or a sense of purpose is a very stressful life. It can feel very scary to be alone while having someone intimately close. It can feel overwhelming. Despite these extremes, you wish for more stability. I have experience helping people discover and build internal structures so they can be themselves and feel safe with others.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
It is possible to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship with your partner that holds room and respect for all the unique and curious ways that you each function as separate individuals within a supportive bond. We will take time to understand the ways in which we form relationships with others and how these, primarily unconscious and nonverbal, patterns get laid down early in life and are often transmitted across generations. My approach is to work from an attachment-oriented psychotherapy lens that takes into account the here/now relational experience of the therapeutic relationship between us.

Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Always putting others first, struggling to say no or feeling responsible for everyone’s emotions can leave you feeling drained and unseen. Therapy helps you understand where these patterns came from and how to build healthier boundaries while still being caring and connected. You are allowed to take up space in your own life.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
I'll draw on relational, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approaches to help you understand and shift codependency patterns. 'Codependency' has become a stigmatized term, which can leave people feeling stuck or even ashamed. I think it's important to have a compassionate lens towards this relational dynamic and why it's developed. First, we'll work together to explore what codependency is like for you. What needs does it fulfill or not? What fears does it soothe or ignite? What longings are being expressed or repressed? We'll also explore how you can fulfill your needs for intimacy and safety in ways that also honour your boundaries. We may need to make space for inner conflicts between connection and individuality. How can those co-exist in your relationships? Alone, it may be hard to see beyond codependency—together, we can open up new possibilities for a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency is a bit of a trap. We often don't recognize we are in it but we know something feels off. We feel alone, tired or resentful. Working with a therapist can really help tease apart what is going on and teach you ways to set healthy boundaries.

Do you wish you could feel comfortable setting boundaries or saying "no" more often but aren't sure where to start? Do you find that you worry about the needs or feelings of others constantly, or find it impossible to prioritize yourself? Do you feel stuck in patterns with a parent, a friend, or a romantic partner that feels like a constant back and forth of frustration, manipulation, or feeling overly relied on to problem solve? Let's touch base for a free consult and go from there.

Svetlana Levinta
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MEd
“The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.” — Carl Gustav Jung
In my work with clients struggling with codependency, I focus on understanding the deep emotional patterns that were formed long before the current relationship. Together, we explore the early experiences, unspoken fears, and attachment wounds that shaped the belief that one’s worth depends on meeting others’ needs. I offer a psychotherapeutic setting where clients can safely notice their own feelings, desires, and boundaries — often for the first time. As we gently untangle old relational patterns, clients begin to develop a more realistic and independent sense of self, and the ability to connect with others without losing themselves and start creating a future that isn’t built on self sacrifice. My approach is individual, compassionate, and respectful of the courage it takes to step out of familiar roles and into a more authentic way of relating.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or responsible for other people’s emotions and needs? Many of us grow up learning to stay safe or connected by putting others first—downplaying our own feelings, avoiding conflict, or believing our worth comes from being helpful, needed, or accommodating. Anger, sadness, or boundaries may have felt risky, so caring for others became the way to cope.
These patterns aren’t flaws—they’re learned responses that once made sense. What matters is how they continue to show up now. Together, we can explore where these dynamics began, how they impact your relationships, and how to build a stronger connection to your own needs and limits—so you can feel more balanced, grounded, and free. You care deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Codependency is not always as simple as “being too dependent.” Relationship patterns are shaped by culture, trauma, neurodivergence, family systems, values, survival strategies, and the ways we’ve learned to feel safe, loved, or needed.
Rather than assuming closeness, caregiving, or interdependence are automatically unhealthy, my approach is about exploring what actually feels balanced, supportive, and sustainable for you.
Together, we can look at patterns like people-pleasing, losing yourself, difficulty trusting your own needs, or fear of conflict — not to force independence for the sake of it, but to help you build healthier trust in yourself, clearer boundaries, and relationships that feel more intentional and workable.

Codependent patterns often stem from early experiences of attachment, caregiving roles, or trauma. I help clients understand their relationship dynamics, reconnect with their own needs, and establish healthy boundaries. Through a person-centred, emotionally attuned approach, we explore what it means to care for others without losing yourself.

If you overgive, overfunction, or feel responsible for other people’s emotions, it can slowly erase you. Therapy helps you untangle guilt, build boundaries, and shift from earning love to receiving it. You’ll learn how to stay caring without self-abandonment.
