Gina Niewodowski
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, ATR-BC (Master of Arts, Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist)
Codependency develops over years and interferes with both self esteem and relationships with others. In therapy, we explore core beliefs which contribute to codependency and strategies to challenge these perceptions.

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.

Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D., LLC.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Codependency is a popular term these days. It can be subtle or much more overt. Frequently seen with other problematic relationship problems, substance abuse, depression and anxiety. Many times this is seen passed through families. We are not sure if it is a nature or nurture thing. Therapy can be a helpful part of the puzzle. Treatment tends to take longer with this stuff.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Codependency is another specialty of mine in being a people pleaser. If you are looking to find someone to complete you, you probably have codependent qualities. Codependent people find their self esteem through helping others often at ones own expense. Codependency is all about looking outside ourselves for answers/happiness instead of inward. Happiness and all of our answers to our questions lie within if we can become still enough to listen to our intuition. Successful relationships are more interdependent where we both have our lives, interests, friends, family, etc. and intersect with our partners when we are doing something together. Many of my clients have gone to Codependents Anonymous, ACOA, Alanon, etc. These are safe spaces to explore more interdependent and independent ways of being and share our experiences without being judged. There are many great books on codependency. I teach people how to become your own person not needing approval from others and celebrating your interdependence with one another when in relationship.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
Attachment disorders, including codependency, are very common in enmeshed family systems and also in individuals coping with trauma, its effects, as well as with individuals who might be lacking balance or boundary awareness in their lives. Attachment and bonding difficulties were one of my areas of practice, professionally. This stated, shifting to a state of "oneness and constant contact with God" can help individuals find the peace they are seeking.The art and science of attaching and detaching are taught to clients using advanced psycho-educational approaches and models/ modalities. By teaching the concept of "oneness", these states can also be healed more easily so less anxiety regarding separation occurs and more healthy, positive, stable relationships with self and others can be achieved and maintained, over time.
