Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Codependency can be like a heavy burden, pulling us down and clouding our vision. But, together, we can learn to navigate our relationships and find balance. As a therapist, my goal is to be a compassionate guide on your journey towards understanding and transcending patterns of codependency. Together, we will explore the underlying causes of your behaviors, and develop effective strategies for healthy communication and boundaries. We'll use mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to help you understand the impact of your actions on others, and work towards advocating for your own needs in social situations. My guidance will be gentle and understanding, as we work towards a brighter future, with healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Let's start this journey together, and take the first step towards inner peace and self-discovery.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Codependency is an emotional and behavioral condition, often learned from our families-of-origin. We will work on increasing boundary setting, increasing self-worth, and processing feelings of guilt and shame that arise from making yourself a priority.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In my therapeutic practice, I address codependency as a complex interplay of emotional dynamics that often stems from deep-seated needs for approval, validation, and love. This pattern of behavior, while initially developed as a survival strategy in response to challenging relational environments, can lead to a loss of self-identity, boundary issues, and an overarching sense of dissatisfaction in one's relationships and personal life. Recognizing codependency as a sign of the soul's longing for genuine connection and self-realization, I offer a compassionate space for individuals to explore and understand these patterns, fostering a journey towards healing and autonomy.
The focus of our work together is on unraveling the layers of codependency, identifying its roots in past experiences, and understanding its impact on current relationships and self-perception. By cultivating self-awareness and self-compassion, clients are guided towards reclaiming their independence, establishing healthier boundaries, and developing a stronger sense of self-worth. This transformative process not only improves relationships with others but also deepens the connection to oneself, enabling a life lived with more authenticity and fulfillment.
Emphasizing the importance of personal growth and empowerment, my approach seeks to empower individuals to break free from the cycles of codependency, leading to a life marked by healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and a profound sense of inner freedom. Together, we work to create a future where one can engage in relationships not out of neediness or fear, but from a place of strength, wholeness, and genuine love.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work from an attachment perspective with codependency, recognizing codependency as a style of relating often learned early in life, sometimes from within in the womb. We'll explore stories of connection: such as when you have felt most seen and heard, loved and cherished, as well as when you have felt yourself chameleon-ing to keep someone present in your life. We'll really look at what the cues are for when you feel safe to stay in the integrity of your Core Self vs. when you find yourself sacrificing what you really want to meet the needs of others, weighing them as more valuable than yourself. I'll reflect back to you when I see you excelling in moments of prioritizing yourself without disrespecting others, a beautiful balance of self- and other-love that allows for each person to be their own individual within the relationship.
