I was a serious mama's boy, but figured out how to not be codependent, which means I have first-hand experience for helping others with this as well.

Pursue You Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P
Codependency can make it difficult to set boundaries, prioritize your needs, and feel secure in relationships. At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we help individuals recognize unhealthy patterns, develop self-worth, and build relationships based on mutual respect, independence, and emotional balance.
We provide treatment that targets:
-People-Pleasing & Fear of Disapproval – Difficulty saying no, prioritizing others at your own expense, or seeking external validation.
-Lack of Boundaries – Struggling to express needs, feeling responsible for others' emotions, or fearing conflict.
-Low Self-Worth – Tying your identity to how much you give or feeling unworthy of love without “earning” it.
-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.
Our approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inner Child Work, Self-Compassion & Boundary Coaching, and Mindfulness Techniques to help you unlearn codependent patterns, build self-confidence, and create fulfilling, balanced relationships. You deserve relationships that are built on mutual care, not self-sacrifice. Whether you’re working on reclaiming your independence or learning to set healthy boundaries, we’re here to help you create the fulfilling life you deserve.

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.

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.

Whiteboard Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Co-dependency occurs when individuals find their identity solely by way of their interactions with others. These interactions might include romantic relationships, friend relationships, or relationship within their family network. While deeply held relationships are important for our emotional health, certain personality types are more prone to seeing these relationships become co-dependent ones which rob people of their individual identity as opposed to help foster it.

Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency is a theory that attempts to explain imbalanced relationships where one person enables another person's self-destructive behavior. Working with codependency requires the codependent to explore and understand what they gain from being in codependent relationships. We work towards improved self-esteem and identity, so that you are no longer trying to have these needs met through unhealthy relationships.
