Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
When your internal compass becomes entirely fixed on monitoring the emotional states and safety of others, navigating codependency requires a gentle, slow return to your own body. I provide an affirming, non-judgmental online space in Vancouver to help you explore the wise relational survival strategies that originally led you to deprioritize yourself. Together, we will slow down and listen to your somatic cues, allowing you to reclaim your right to take up space and express your true, authentic self.

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.

Jonathan Christink
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, BEd, MEd, Registered Psychotherapist
At it's heart, codependency is a deeply human survival strategy born from a profound desire for love, safety, and connection. It reflects the exhausting, often painful habit of caring for everyone/someone else at the expense of yourself. If you're looking for therapy to work on difficulties with codependency don't hesitate to reach out, it'd be wonderful to connect.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
I'll draw on relational, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approaches to help you understand and shift codependency patterns. 'Codependency' has become a stigmatized term, which can leave people feeling stuck or even ashamed. I think it's important to have a compassionate lens towards this relational dynamic and why it's developed. First, we'll work together to explore what codependency is like for you. What needs does it fulfill or not? What fears does it soothe or ignite? What longings are being expressed or repressed? We'll also explore how you can fulfill your needs for intimacy and safety in ways that also honour your boundaries. We may need to make space for inner conflicts between connection and individuality. How can those co-exist in your relationships? Alone, it may be hard to see beyond codependency—together, we can open up new possibilities for a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you break free from codependent patterns through an integrative, client-centered approach. Using acceptance and commitment approaches, we clarify your personal values and healthy boundaries, while parts work uncovers and harmonizes the internal roles that fuel dependency. Mindfulness-based techniques build self-awareness and strengthen your capacity for emotional autonomy, and CBT provides practical tools to reshape unhelpful beliefs about worth and approval. By weaving in emotion-focused and spiritual/existential approaches, we address unmet emotional needs and deepen your connection to your authentic self—empowering you to cultivate balanced, fulfilling relationships.

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.

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.

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.

Gwen Schauerte
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
Codependency can feel confusing and confounding. We are trying to sort out "who am I and who is the other?" Setting and maintaining boundaries and developing self awareness can be just two responses. The reward of doing this work is a clearer sense of one's self in relation to others.

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.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
