Do you find yourself often worrying about how others are handling things, or wanting to fix their moods for them? Do you fear rejection or abandonment, and find yourself on eggshells to avoid conflict? Do you feel guilty when you want to say 'no' to someone?

Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
I use the work of Melody Beattie and Codependent No More to support clients with healing Codependency. Trying to fix and change another person, rescuing them, enabling, and saccrificing our own self by focussing on another person in order to feel "ok" are some of the behaviours that we use when we are involved in Codependent relationships. Through education, self awareness, proccessing, and change, we can become free from these kinds of relationships.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Codependency reveals a complex dance of enmeshment and emotional dependency rooted in early relational patterns. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and past traumas, individuals navigate relationships characterized by excessive care taking, people-pleasing, and a blurred sense of self. Like tendrils reaching from the past, these patterns perpetuate cycles of dysfunction and reinforce feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. Therapy offers a transformative space for unraveling these intricate dynamics, fostering awareness of unhealthy relational patterns and reclaiming autonomy and self-worth. Through healing attachment wounds and addressing underlying trauma, individuals can cultivate healthier boundaries and authentic connections, breaking free from the chains of codependency and rediscovering the power of their own agency and identity.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
I specialize in codependency in women. Codependency starts in childhood when you begin people pleasing to feel loved and accepted. You lose a sense of who you are, lack boundaries, and have a hard time being assertive. You may have anxiety/depression, low self worth and reach outside of yourself to fill that emptiness inside. I can help you manage your emotions instead of feeling overwhelmed by them and feel fulfilled and confident.
