Happy Apple - Center for Anxiety, Depression, & Couples
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, PhD, LMHC
The effects of codependency on mood and self-esteem are insidious and challenging to overcome. Signs that someone is in a codependent relationship may include low self-esteem, resentment, isolation, reluctance to share openly, and minimal engagement in activities outside the relationship. Because a codependent is overly focused on their partner’s feedback, and shares little about her- or himself, she or he may feel invisible and alone. And since investment in the relationship is at the sacrifice of personal growth, codependents feel increasingly insecure about the possibility of living on their own. Happy Apple therapists assist clients in establishing healthy ways of relating to others, and distinguishing healthy from unhealthy relationships. Over the course of therapy, clients develop stronger and clearer identities, learn essential assertiveness and boundary-setting skills, and find themselves feeling stronger and more independent.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
John Lee once said, "Recovery from codependency is like kicking heroin, only harder." Our need to please, to fix, to control can take us to the brink of insanity & drive everyone around us crazy, too! But we can learn new ways to think & feel about ourselves so we can step back from enmeshment.

Cheryl Gerson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, BCD
Codependency is a state usually connected to life in an addictive family. It has a great deal to do with making another person's welfare more important than one's own. It's particularly difficult when the other person, is your child.
