Alyssa Kushner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Codependency is so much more than depending upon on other people. Codependency shows up as putting other peoples needs above your own, people pleasing, struggling to set boundaries or say no, frequent guilt or shame, a loud inner critic, taking responsibility for other peoples emotions, and often feeling resentful or unseen by other people because you're so busy helping them with their issues. We will get to the root of where codependency was developed and start giving you the space to learn and identify what your needs are and start putting them first. I will bring a trauma-informed, somatic, and holistic lens and pull from different approaches like mindful self compassion or other mindfulness practices, somatic exercises, DBT skills, and I am also trained in EMDR if you would like to try that to address any trauma. We will shift that inner-critic to a kinder more compassionate inner voice and give you the space to heal and attend to yourself for the first time.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
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.
