Codependency
Christina Tawdrous
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)
Codependency can create patterns of putting others’ needs ahead of your own, often at the expense of your well-being. I help individuals identify and break these patterns, build healthier boundaries, and develop a stronger sense of self-worth and independence, fostering more balanced and fulfilling relationships.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Co-dependency is a common concern amongst my clients. It is often the result of insecure attachment, parentification, enmeshment, emotionally immature parents and/or low self-esteem stemming from childhood trauma or loss. As an adult you might find yourself in a cycle of toxic or abusive relationships wherein you feel both anxious for connection and yearning for more freedom. Together we can work on fostering a greater sense of self and independence that doesn't necessarily result in the loss of the relationship. I can provide referrals to trusted couple's and family therapists if deemed valuable.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Many clients are unaware that they exist in codependent relationships. They may feel frustrated and resentful in their relationships and yet may not understand that they themselves can start the process of change to build more fulfilling relationships. I work with clients to understand their family of origin, learn about their patterns and beliefs that do not serve them well anymore, and gain confidence to make changes that free them from codependency.

Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency often shows up as overextending, people-pleasing, or losing sight of your own needs to care for others. In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns, uncover what drives them, and build boundaries that feel safe and empowering. You’ll learn to honor yourself while still connecting with others — creating relationships that are balanced, authentic, and nurturing.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
We all have needs that must be met. But what happens when we are made to be responsible for other people's needs? Or when we feel out of control of whether our needs are met or not, and are totally dysregulated when others don't meet our needs? Codependency can be a scary roller coaster, but through intentional work we can begin to understand healthy ways to have our needs met and be in control of our boundaries and expectations of relationships.

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.

Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Working with adults who are in relationships often means addressing the codependency between partners. Together with clients I look at family history, relationship history and how clients interact in other relationships. Together we can also work on the self - including building self-esteem and independence in order to break the co-dependence cycle.

Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
You may find yourself constantly putting the needs of others ahead of your own, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. Codependency can feel like losing sight of who you are in relationships. Together, we can work to reconnect you with your own needs, strengthen your sense of self, work with you to develop tools and strategies to help you set and maintain healthy boundaries with others, and ultimately help you cultivate a better relationship with yourself and more balanced connections with others.

Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
Many of the adults I work with have spent years putting others' needs ahead of their own — at work, in family roles, or in close relationships — and arrive depleted and unsure who they are beneath the caretaking. For late-identified neurodivergent clients, codependency often overlaps with masking and over-functioning to keep relationships safe. Using Internal Family Systems and emotion-focused approaches, we explore the patterns and attachment wounds underneath people-pleasing, so reclaiming your own needs feels possible.

Steve Rose
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MA, BA, CGC (CCPC Global)
Codependence can feel like an addiction to a person, needing to be needed, and feeling like your self-worth an identity depends on giving more of yourself. This leaves you feeling exhausted and a shell of your former self. I help clients recover from codependency so they can regain a sense of purpose and autonomy.

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.
