Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, and Counsellor RP(Q), C.R.P.O, C.C.P.A, M.A.C.P
Codependent relationship patterns can leave individuals feeling emotionally drained and disconnected from their own needs. I help clients recognize unhealthy patterns, set boundaries, and build emotional independence, using Attachment Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to promote self-worth and healthy relationships.

I support adults navigating codependency in relationships—whether with partners, family, or friends.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
A good description of codependency is “when a person’s self-esteem rises and falls based on the other person’s mood, tone or experience.” But it is actually much more than that. The person is overly involved in the other person’s needs, wants, problems and issues. In reality, some of the nicest people in the world are codependent, and if not watched, all relationships have the potential to become codependent. Codependency takes healthy emotions and corrupts them. For example, empathy is a positive emotion, but in codependency the empathy rises to a level where there is no division between the two people. Generosity is also a beautiful emotion, but in codependency it turns into control and over enmeshment. In addition, the codependent person often feels excessively guilty for having any need that may create discomfort in the other person, even if the need is healthy and necessary for their emotional well-being.
The undoing of this pattern is crucial to finding one's joy and peace. We unpack this as it relates to one's relationships to others as well as to the relationship with oneself.

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.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Codependency is not always as simple as “being too dependent.” Relationship patterns are shaped by culture, trauma, neurodivergence, family systems, values, survival strategies, and the ways we’ve learned to feel safe, loved, or needed.
Rather than assuming closeness, caregiving, or interdependence are automatically unhealthy, my approach is about exploring what actually feels balanced, supportive, and sustainable for you.
Together, we can look at patterns like people-pleasing, losing yourself, difficulty trusting your own needs, or fear of conflict — not to force independence for the sake of it, but to help you build healthier trust in yourself, clearer boundaries, and relationships that feel more intentional and workable.

Are you struggling with putting others' needs before your own? Finding it difficult to set healthy boundaries? You're not alone. As a therapist specializing in codependency, I help individuals break free from unhealthy relationship patterns and develop a stronger sense of self.
Through our work together, you'll learn to:
- Establish and maintain healthy boundaries
- Develop self-trust and improve decision-making
- Recognize and honor your own needs and feelings
- Build genuine, balanced relationships
- Cultivate self-worth independent of others' approval
Whether your codependency stems from childhood experiences, relationship dynamics, or other life circumstances, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and growth. Together, we'll work on transforming patterns that no longer serve you, helping you step into a more authentic and empowered version of yourself.

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.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Codependent patterns often begin as survival strategies — ways of staying safe or needed within a family system that didn't leave room for your own needs. My work helps clients understand these patterns, and build relationships rooted in mutual care rather than self-sacrifice.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the codependency on your own. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

Peter Stathakos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, BBA, MDiv, MSW, CMAT, CSAT
Depending on others' approval or a sense of purpose is a very stressful life. It can feel very scary to be alone while having someone intimately close. It can feel overwhelming. Despite these extremes, you wish for more stability. I have experience helping people discover and build internal structures so they can be themselves and feel safe 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.

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.
