Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support clients struggling with codependency by exploring how early relational patterns may have shaped current difficulties with boundaries, self-worth, and emotional dependence. Through a compassionate, psychodynamic approach, we uncover the unconscious roots of these patterns, helping clients develop more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling relationships—with others and with themselves.

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.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
All relationships experience challenging times where self-doubt can creep in, but codependent relationships possess specific, persistent traits that make them particularly tough to navigate. In a codependent dynamic, you might find it difficult to refuse requests, establish healthy boundaries, and prioritize your own well-being. Perhaps you consistently feel drained but struggle to rest. You might empathize deeply with others, leading you to take on their responsibilities or overextend yourself. The thought that tasks won't be completed or done correctly unless you handle them yourself might be a frequent worry. Ultimately, codependency can leave you with feelings of anger, frustration, and resentment.
From the other perspective in a codependent relationship, you might be perplexed by your partner's responses. Do you often feel criticized or controlled? The reality in codependent relationships is that neither individual feels content. One partner feels overwhelmed by excessive responsibility, while the other struggles to comprehend the complaints. This can create a destructive cycle where feelings of being misunderstood and unappreciated prevail for both individuals.
Seeking counselling focused on codependency can provide valuable insights into these patterns and help you address the core issues. We encourage you to reach out to us to schedule a consultation and explore how we can help.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
At it's heart, codependency is a deeply human survival strategy born from a profound desire for love, safety, and connection. It reflects the exhausting, often painful habit of caring for everyone/someone else at the expense of yourself. If you're looking for therapy to work on difficulties with codependency don't hesitate to reach out, it'd be wonderful to connect.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Codependency often develops gradually and can become deeply ingrained in the way we relate to others. You may find yourself constantly prioritizing the needs, emotions, or wellbeing of others while neglecting your own. Over time, your sense of identity can become closely tied to being needed, fixing problems, or keeping the peace in relationships.
Many people living with codependent patterns feel responsible for others’ happiness, struggle with boundaries, or feel guilt and anxiety when trying to prioritize themselves. These patterns are often shaped by earlier experiences, family dynamics, or relationships where love and care became intertwined with responsibility.
In our work together, we focus on building healthier boundaries, strengthening your sense of self, and learning how to care for others without losing yourself in the process. The goal is to help you develop relationships that feel balanced, respectful, and supportive of your own wellbeing as well.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
