Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Codependent relationships can feel hopelessly stuck, seemingly impossible to leave or to negotiate. Unconscious emotions and patterns are often at work, interacting with our partner in ways we feel we don't have control over. Being able to talk deeply about this can lead to increasing understanding and freedom, as patterns and personal histories begin to make sense. Clarity can emerge, and with that the possibility of autonomy and choice.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
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.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy

Codependency is a bit of a trap. We often don't recognize we are in it but we know something feels off. We feel alone, tired or resentful. Working with a therapist can really help tease apart what is going on and teach you ways to set healthy boundaries.

Ekum Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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.

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.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency is a complex emotional and behavioral condition that often arises in relationships marked by an unhealthy level of emotional reliance or control. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we approach codependency with an integrative, relational, and trauma-informed perspective, understanding the deep-seated roots that often drive these patterns.
Our therapy sessions are designed to unpack the multifaceted layers of codependency. We delve into how past experiences, possibly stemming from childhood or previous relationships, have shaped current behaviors and emotional responses. Recognizing that codependency often originates from a place of trauma or unmet emotional needs, we provide a safe and empathetic space for exploration and healing.
In addressing codependency, we employ a blend of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual’s needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps in identifying and altering detrimental thought patterns and behaviors. At the same time, our relational approach fosters a deeper understanding of interpersonal dynamics. We also incorporate mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Our goal is not just to break the cycle of codependency but to empower individuals to build healthier, more autonomous relationships. This involves cultivating self-esteem, learning to set healthy boundaries, and developing effective communication skills. We guide you in recognizing your own needs and values, encouraging a journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
Through virtual sessions, we offer the convenience and comfort of accessing therapy from your environment, ensuring continuous and personalized support. Begin your path to recovery from codependency with Collaborative Care Therapy, and discover the strength in building balanced, fulfilling relationships.

Mariya Garnet
Pre-Licensed Professional, Pre-licensed Psychotherapist
My approach to co-dependency focuses on addressing the root causes, often stemming from past emotional neglect, and cultivating a healthy sense of self. This work is fundamental to developing and maintaining balanced, fulfilling relationships.
Key aspects of our therapeutic process include:
Exploring patterns of emotional neglect and their impact on current relationships
Identifying and challenging internalized negative self-perceptions
Developing a strong, authentic sense of self separate from others
Establishing healthy boundaries and communication skills
Through a combination of expressive arts therapy and integral neuroprogramming, we work to reframe deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors. This process allows for the emergence of new, healthier patterns of relating to oneself and others.
The goal is to guide clients towards greater self-awareness, emotional autonomy, and the ability to form interdependent, rather than co-dependent, relationships. This transformative work supports overall emotional well-being and fosters more satisfying interpersonal connections.

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.
