Mine hasn't encouraged dependence. Only attachment. A person can be attached and depend on someone without being 'dependent.' Not splitting hairs here... Just that when I've felt I needed her, she found a way to 'be there' for me one way or another. But I've never felt emotionally 'dependent' on her... As in "I can't figure out how to exist without her." I think she would discourage that.

Eta: if dependence is defined by offering outside contact, then yes, she did give me contact info. However, I asked to use it.. She didn't encourage it herself. Now that I think about it, although she specifically and repeatedly encouraged attachment, I am the one who reached out to her when I needed something. She took care to be responsive, but did not actively encourage things like outside contact.
