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.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore codependency issues. Likely you are experiencing pain that you want to end. I can help you gain freedom from the cycle of codependency.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Growing up in a less than nurturing environment can lead to all sorts of codependent traits: self esteem, self care, boundaries, controlling others, taking care of your adult needs, perfectionism, emotional flooding. I am well versed in the 12-step program of codependents anonymous and the issues that are helped through attending. I recommend the program, but it is not required to understand or heal the above issues.

Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
For those that were trained to self-abandon, returning "home" and learning to derive self worth from more reliable (internal) sources is one of the most rewarding achievements.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Do you find it difficult to say no? Do you always put the needs of others ahead of your own? Do you feel selfish when you take care of yourself? While many people who answer yes to these questions have a generous heart, they can end up feeling used up and taken advantage of. Therapy can be a great place to learn to understand the importance of your own needs and how to meet them in a way that's self-nourishing, not selfish.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency means well. It has the best of intentions. It is only trying to help, to be of service, to protect, to belong. And yet, within a confined space, there is not enough air to breathe, no room to grow, and for folks in a family or in a relationship, the effects stifle and suffocate, and slowly, slowly, slowly, like a frog in boiling water, you don't realize the difficult space you are in until it is almost too late. Let's untie the cords that bind you in your relationships with others!

Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
As I have worked in a number of community settings where recovery or addiction was an issue; including the LGBTQ community, survivors of sexaul violence/abuse, and homeless acute psychiatric individuals; I have encountered numerous people struggling with the impact of addiction on their lives. In addition, I worked with clients from families with addiction, which often foster codependent tendencies. I help clients understand boundaries and how important they are in preserving mental health.

Kate Merrill Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Codependent behaviors such as hyper-vigilence, people pleasing, self abandonment, belief of unworthiness, fear of others' emotional responses and/or abandonment, difficulty making and holding boundaries (and so many more) can make relationships a painful struggle. If you're noticing these patterns in your life, know that change is possible. Using a parts approach, mindfulness, and body awareness, we will gently untangle these maladaptive strategies so that you can better understand and meet the needs your system is attempting to communicate to you.

Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Human beings naturally attach to feel safe and loved in a way that is familiar. We often have attachment styles that are related to childhood family dynamics and unhealed wounds. We need to get to the root of how we love and how we want to be loved to heal.
