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.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Codependency often manifests physically before it appears in behaviour—through tension, activation, fawning, such as people-pleasing, or fear of loss. I assist clients in understanding these patterns, exploring their origins, and reclaiming a sense of internal safety and self-confidence outside of dependency. Together, we cultivate stronger boundaries, emotional stability, prioritizing the self, and in navigating healthier relationship dynamics

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.

Toronto Psychotherapy Space (TPS Therapy)
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapists (RP) and Registered Social Workers (RSW, MSW)
It can be difficult to recognize when caring for others has gradually turned into putting your own needs aside. Our therapists help clients explore patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of disappointing others, excessive responsibility for other people's emotions, and losing themselves within relationships. Therapy can support healthier boundaries, stronger self-worth, and more balanced relationships.

Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
If you are a heart-centred, empathic woman, you might have challenges setting healthy boundaries with people and could be stuck in fawning, pleasing, and appeasing patterns to feel safe and connected. I can support you in defining your values and setting either flexible or non-negotiable boundaries, depending on the circumstances. I can help you move through self-doubt and into your authentic self-expression. The therapy that I offer is in-depth and often involves going back to the inner child, where your inner defense patterns and relationship patterns began, to initiate deep emotional healing and safety.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You don’t have to lose yourself to be loved.
If you find yourself overgiving in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling anxious when you're not needed, you may be dealing with codependent patterns. These often come from early wounds and parts of us that equate love with self-sacrifice or people-pleasing. As someone who specializes in dating and relationships—and is currently writing a book on dating through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—I help you identify the parts of you that fear being alone, not enough, or too much. Together, we’ll untangle old patterns, heal the underlying wounds, and reconnect you with your True Self—so you can build relationships from a place of wholeness rather than need.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Caregivers often put others’ needs above their own, suppressing emotions and taking on excessive responsibility. This pattern can lead to chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and physical health challenges. I help clients to notice this pattern, access support, and cultivate self-compassion to create a healthier balance between caring for others and caring for themselves.

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.

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.

I specialize in codependency in women. Codependency starts in childhood when you begin people pleasing to feel loved and accepted.
