Codependency therapists in Kirkwood, Missouri MO
Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
Does everyone (or a specific someone) around you have to 'be ok' for you to feel ok? Does your mood and emotional regulation depend on another person? Maybe you're a perfectionist or a people pleaser. Maybe you are a high achiever, but feel like you don't actually belong or are accepted in your field. All of these things are related to codependency. Break free from the perceived expectations of others and live for YOU. Figure out who matters and who doesn't in the grand scheme. The first step is calling.

Identify healthy boundaries when involved in toxic relationships
13 Years Experience
Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Codependency is a learned pattern of interacting. We can unlearn these patterns, too. First we are going to identify the needs and learn more accurate self talk around self-esteem and self-worth. We will talk about triggers that might cause you to fall back into old patterns and ways to act with love, but not entangled in someone else's distress.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Setting healthy boundaries is something many of us did not effectively learn in childhood, even in the most well meaning and loving of families. We have, instead, learned to live life to serve others and to prioritize the needs of others, even when doing so harms ourselves. My approach is to help my clients create healthy boundaries, advocate for the self, learn to communicate our needs clearly and directly, and then learn to act upon the needs we have outlined to those we love so we can cultivate healthy and mutually effective relationships. Cutting the ties of codependency is central to this process: staying in one's own lane, letting others solve their own problems, offering compassion and help when asked, letting go of the rescue fantasy, living without an emotional hangover, and learning to accept that there is much we cannot control.
