Codependency is very common. We help clients understand their identity and practical tips to grow in love for each other. Our counselors have found this to be very helpful for those who struggle with codependency.

Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

La Luz Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LPC-S, LCSW-S
Codependency can be a tough thing to recognize when you're in a relationship. Contrary to popular belief, it's not just something that happens with a toxic romantic partner. We see this with family members all the time: parents with their adult children, sisters with sisters, brothers with brothers, etc. Codependent is NOT healthy. It's a bad habit that is super tough to break- but with coaching and support you can learn tools to gain healthy distance and learn to think about and value your own thoughts, feelings and actions.
