Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Codependency is often referred to as “relationship addiction.” It’s an emotional and behavioral condition that interferes with an individual’s ability to develop a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It can be frustrating and destructive, but there are things that you can do to learn how to stop being codependent. To start, you should:
Look for signs of a healthy relationship
Maintain healthy boundaries
Care for yourself
Get help from a mental health professional
The term codependency was first used to describe the partner of someone with an addiction—whose unhealthy choices enable or encourage the addiction to continue. But over the years, it’s been expanded to include individuals who maintain one-sided, emotionally destructive, or abusive relationships, and those relationships don’t necessarily have to be romantic.
Therapy can help individuals with overcoming codependency. Some individuals are able to overcome codependency on their own. Learning about what it means to be codependent and the harm it causes can be enough for some individuals to change their behavior.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency is a circular pattern that emerge in relationships when one person needs another person to need them in order to keep the relationship going. This is an unhealthy pattern and often leads to unhappiness and toxic patterns in relationships. I approach these relationships from a place of empathy and concern for all parties involved. It is my goal to illuminate these patterns and teach individuals to set healthy boundaries that will allow them to break free of codependent relationships and live healthier and happier lives with friends and family.

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.

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.
