Codependency
Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
If you notice that you tend toward people-pleasing, supporting others before yourself, experience variable levels of self-esteem based on what is happening in your life and what people say to you, and setting boundaries feels really, really hard...then it is possible that you want some support around ways of showing up that are not in your best interests.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency means well. It has the best of intentions. It is only trying to help, to be of service, to protect, to belong. And yet, within a confined space, there is not enough air to breathe, no room to grow, and for folks in a family or in a relationship, the effects stifle and suffocate, and slowly, slowly, slowly, like a frog in boiling water, you don't realize the difficult space you are in until it is almost too late. Let's untie the cords that bind you in your relationships with others!

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in codependent patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected from themselves or each other. Codependency can show up as difficulty setting boundaries, prioritizing others at the expense of your own needs, fear of conflict or abandonment, or feeling responsible for a partner’s emotions or behavior. Over time, these patterns can strain relationships and erode trust and intimacy.
In therapy, we work to identify how these patterns developed and how they continue to affect communication and emotional balance in your relationship. I help couples learn healthier ways to express needs, tolerate discomfort, and support one another without losing a sense of self. This often includes developing clearer boundaries, improving emotional regulation, and building more balanced and mutual connection.
The goal is not to create distance, but to strengthen relationships by helping each person feel more grounded, autonomous, and secure. As these changes take shape, many couples find that conflict becomes more manageable and intimacy feels more genuine and sustainable.

Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Codependency often develops from a deep desire to care for others, yet it can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from your own needs, and unsure of who you are outside of your relationships. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped these dynamics, helping you develop healthier boundaries, greater self-awareness, and stronger self-worth. My goal is to empower you to build relationships that are balanced, authentic, and rooted in mutual respect rather than guilt, fear, or the need to please others.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with codependency, I often start by helping clients shift their attention inward—especially if they’ve spent much of their lives attuned to others' needs at the expense of their own. Codependent patterns can make it hard to locate a sense of self, to understand boundaries, or even to recognize one’s own desires and emotional cues. In our work, we slow down and begin to rebuild that connection to your internal experience. Through somatic awareness, parts work, and a focus on early relational dynamics, we explore how these patterns developed and gently begin to create space for a more grounded, self-connected way of relating to yourself and others.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency often develops when a person becomes overly focused on the emotional needs, approval, behaviors, or wellbeing of others while losing connection with their own needs, identity, and emotional boundaries. Many individuals struggling with codependent patterns experience chronic guilt, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional exhaustion, or repeated involvement in unhealthy or one-sided relationships.
I help clients better understand the relational and emotional patterns underlying codependency while developing greater self-awareness, emotional autonomy, assertiveness, and healthier interpersonal boundaries. Therapy focuses on helping clients build more balanced and authentic relationships without losing their sense of self in the process.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for people who find themselves chronically over-functioning, caretaking, people-pleasing, shape-shifting, minimizing their own needs, anticipating the needs of others, or feeling responsible for the emotions, wellbeing, comfort, or stability of those around them. These patterns often develop as intelligent adaptations within family systems, trauma, cultural expectations, caregiving roles, marginalization, neurodivergence, or environments where safety, belonging, acceptance, or survival depended upon attunement to others.
This work explores the protective and prescribed roles these patterns may have played throughout your life and the ways they may have shaped identity, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, decision-making, and connection to your own needs, desires, emotions, and body. Particular attention is given to the influence of family dynamics, culture, gender socialization, attachment experiences, systemic oppression, internalized beliefs, and the messages you may have received about responsibility, worthiness, sacrifice, and care.
These patterns often live not only in thoughts and beliefs, but within the nervous system itself. They may show up as hypervigilance, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty asking for help, guilt when resting, discomfort receiving care, difficulty identifying needs, over-explaining, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that your value comes from what you do for others rather than who you are.
Through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and nervous-system-centered lens, space is created for greater self-trust, authenticity, reciprocity, discernment, and connection to your own inner experience. The goal is not to stop caring for others, but to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and with relationships where care can flow in multiple directions and where your needs, humanity, and wellbeing are nurtured by the same compassion and attention you so readily offer to everyone else.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
When a family member struggles with addiction, mental illness, cognitive deficits or developmental differences, it’s normal to want to help. Codependency arises when we try to control the situation or the other person through care-taking. This happens a lot when the other person has impulse control or anger problems. We learn to overfunction and become hyper-responsible to compensate and make life a little more stable. Together we can look at new ways to find stability and ease so you don’t have to continue placating and people-pleasing. We can explore the boundaries that would give you true control - not trying to change the other person or get them to understand, but to decide what you will and won’t do, and then staying true to yourself.

Codependency is common in relationships either in a couple's or familial relationships. First finding out unhealthy codependency and acknowledging it is the initial step toward building a healthier relationship.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
People-pleasing, conflict avoidance, difficulty setting boundaries, caretaking at the expense of oneself, and intense anxiety in relationships can often be signs of codependency. Many people don't feel like they can be okay unless everyone they love is okay. This can appear of loving but often feels exhausting. I work with clients to help them understand where their codependent behaviors originated and how they currently impact their life so that client's can process unconscious fears and become more independent, confident, and healthier in relationships.
