Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Growing up in a home with an Alcoholic parent can be an unstable experience. You never know what to expect. If you have experienced chaos in your childhood, dealt with unpredictable mental state of your parent, and witnessed and responded to ongoing unsafe situations, then this will be familiar to you. In an unpredictable home, it can be difficult to trust yourself and your experiences. To survive, and avoid, sometimes you need to bottle up your feelings so much that you forget how to experience emotions. When your needs are ignored, seeking approval from others can result in losing your own identity. Feeling responsible for others can outweigh your own needs and wellbeing.
I have been providing counselling services in the community since 2014. I have supported many people who have a loved one struggling with addiction. I am excited to support you as you heal from some or all of the above experiences. Counselling can also help you set healthier boundaries in relationships and start putting your own needs and safety first.

Valerie MacNeil Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Several years ago, I was asked to develop and facilitate a codependency group and accepted the challenge. As a result, I have learned what it means to be codependent, why people exhibit codependent behaviors and how we can break free from these behavioral patterns.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Codependency can come from non-secure attachment, a conflicted environment and from trauma when we are young. The central nervous system/brain can be re-set/balanced such that secure attachment is achieved and the emotional and chemical charges are deleted so healthy relationships are experienced.

Codependency
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.
