Codependency
Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Codependency begins within family history. We explore this history and how it is being played out today. Many codependent people are children of alcoholics. People with codependency issues feel a lack of sense of self so that they often try to live through others. I will help you to gain a sense of self identify through teaching you to listen and trust your feelings in order to teach you what you need and don't need.

Laura Jean Northey
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA
To decrease codependency, we need to increase your awareness of your own emotional boundaries and ability to assert and express your needs. We can work together to help you gain awareness of your emotional experiences and verbalize them in a way that positively impacts relationships and helps you take better care of yourself.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
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.

When your focus is always on taking care of others, it’s easy to lose touch with your own needs, boundaries, and sense of self. Codependency can leave you feeling drained, unappreciated, or even resentful, yet unsure how to step out of old patterns. In therapy, we’ll work on strengthening your self-worth, building healthy boundaries, and creating relationships that feel balanced and supportive. Together, we’ll help you move from people-pleasing and self-sacrifice toward confidence, clarity, and authentic connection.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, 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.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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.

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.

-Anxiety in Relationships – Constant worry about abandonment, overanalyzing interactions, or difficulty trusting others.
-Overfunctioning in Relationships – Feeling the need to fix, rescue, or control others to maintain connection.
-Difficulty Being Alone – Feeling uncomfortable with independence or defining happiness through relationships.
