Codependency
Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying), CSAT
An exaggerated sense of responsibility, compulsive need to take care of another, difficulty expressing boundaries, excessive reliance on or emotional ties to a partner or loved-one - these are all expressions of co-dependent relationships. I will help you break it down and understand the how and why in order to strengthen your sense of self. The aim is to find yourself, so that you do not lose yourself in relationship with others.

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.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
A good description of codependency is “when a person’s self-esteem rises and falls based on the other person’s mood, tone or experience.” But it is actually much more than that. The person is overly involved in the other person’s needs, wants, problems and issues. In reality, some of the nicest people in the world are codependent, and if not watched, all relationships have the potential to become codependent. Codependency takes healthy emotions and corrupts them. For example, empathy is a positive emotion, but in codependency the empathy rises to a level where there is no division between the two people. Generosity is also a beautiful emotion, but in codependency it turns into control and over enmeshment. In addition, the codependent person often feels excessively guilty for having any need that may create discomfort in the other person, even if the need is healthy and necessary for their emotional well-being.
The undoing of this pattern is crucial to finding one's joy and peace. We unpack this as it relates to one's relationships to others as well as to the relationship with oneself.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Codependency often manifests physically before it appears in behaviour—through tension, activation, fawning, such as people-pleasing, or fear of loss. I assist clients in understanding these patterns, exploring their origins, and reclaiming a sense of internal safety and self-confidence outside of dependency. Together, we cultivate stronger boundaries, emotional stability, prioritizing the self, and in navigating healthier relationship dynamics

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.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
When we struggle with codependent patterns, it can be easy to lose sight of ourselves in relationships. You may find yourself looking to other people to decide whether you are doing okay, whether you are enough, or whether you deserve to feel good about yourself. As a result, your mood and sense of self-worth can become closely tied to the emotions, opinions, and behaviours of those around you.
In therapy, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, helping you develop a stronger sense of self and healthier boundaries.

Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Codependency often develops when we've learned to suppress our own needs to survive in emotionally unsafe environments. Through this work, we reconnect you with your authentic voice and boundaries—not as concepts, but as felt experiences in your body and help you reclaim the parts of yourself that were deemed "too much" or "too needy." This is the journey back to yourself.
