Jess 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.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
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.

No two people that struggle with co-dependency share the same symptoms. What we do know is that co-dependency involves giving too much at your own expense, and asking for what we need can become daunting. Co-dependency recovery relies on four areas: refocusing on yourself; ii) setting firm boundaries, iii) learning how to identify healthy relationships; and iv) internal family system work. Let's learn about you got here and how we can tailor your learned reactions.

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.

Our therapeutic approach is designed to help individuals break free from codependent patterns, cultivate self-awareness, and foster healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Through a relational lens, we explore the underlying beliefs and behaviors that contribute to codependency, focusing on building self-esteem, assertiveness, and self-care practices. Our therapists create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to examine their relational dynamics, set boundaries, and develop a deeper understanding of their own needs and values.
Using somatic interventions, we help clients reconnect with their bodies and emotions, facilitating a deeper sense of self-awareness and grounding. By incorporating mindfulness techniques and body-centered practices, we support individuals in developing a greater sense of agency, presence, and resilience in their relationships.
Our goal is to empower individuals to cultivate healthy boundaries, enhance self-esteem, and nurture a balanced sense of self-reliance and interdependence. Through personalized therapeutic interventions and compassionate support, we guide clients on a transformative journey towards breaking free from codependency, fostering self-compassion, and reclaiming their autonomy and emotional well-being.
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we are dedicated to providing a supportive and empowering space where individuals can explore and heal from codependency, fostering growth, authenticity, and self-empowerment in their relationships and personal lives.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It can feel disorienting or unsafe to get to know yourself, especially if you've come across people with such contagious emotions that you don't know what feelings are yours. You don't have to do this alone. My approach centers our relationship as a priority and you may even find that learning IFS (internal family systems) as an approach may help you to experience more safety within your own body.

Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Codependency can look so different from person to person and relationship to relationship. Often times when we are in these types of relationships, we can feel fully dependent on others to meet all our attachment needs and can feel extremely powerless, insecure, and fearful when these needs aren't met. For others, it can look like needing to take control of most aspects of the relationship and our partners to create a sense of certainty and security, which can leave us in distress when we lose that "control". I hope to help you understand your feelings and needs, learn how to express those to your partner, set healthy boundaries, and build independence and internal self-esteem.
