Codependency
Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Codependency is a behavioral and emotional condition that often manifests in dysfunctional, one-sided relationships where individuals excessively prioritize the needs and well-being of others at the expense of their own. This pattern of codependency may lead to difficulties in setting healthy boundaries, low self-esteem, and a reliance on external validation for a sense of self-worth. People struggling with codependency may find themselves entangled in relationships marked by excessive caretaking, enabling, or seeking validation from others. Breaking free from codependent patterns often involves self-awareness, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering a more balanced sense of self that allows for independent growth and mutual respect within relationships. Therapeutic intervention, such as counseling or support groups, can be instrumental in helping individuals navigate and overcome codependency, fostering healthier and more fulfilling connections with others.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
It is possible to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship with your partner that holds room and respect for all the unique and curious ways that you each function as separate individuals within a supportive bond. We will take time to understand the ways in which we form relationships with others and how these, primarily unconscious and nonverbal, patterns get laid down early in life and are often transmitted across generations. My approach is to work from an attachment-oriented psychotherapy lens that takes into account the here/now relational experience of the therapeutic relationship between us.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Interpersonal relationships are a fundamental aspect of the human experience. However, it is not uncommon for one to find themselves in a pattern of unhelpful relationship dynamics with their family member, significant other, colleague, etc. I have experience providing psychotherapy to individuals who describe challenges with assertive communication, boundary setting, attuning to and meeting their personal needs (emotional, interpersonal, psychological, physical, social, existential), and other behaviors, beliefs, skills, essential in forging healthy interdependent relationships.
