Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency often develops as a survival strategy, especially for those who grew up needing to prioritize others' emotions or safety over their own. You may struggle with boundaries, guilt, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in relationships. In therapy, we explore where these patterns began, strengthen your sense of self, and build capacity for relationships rooted in mutual respect rather than self-abandonment.

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.

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.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my therapeutic practice, I address codependency as a complex interplay of emotional dynamics that often stems from deep-seated needs for approval, validation, and love. This pattern of behavior, while initially developed as a survival strategy in response to challenging relational environments, can lead to a loss of self-identity, boundary issues, and an overarching sense of dissatisfaction in one's relationships and personal life. Recognizing codependency as a sign of the soul's longing for genuine connection and self-realization, I offer a compassionate space for individuals to explore and understand these patterns, fostering a journey towards healing and autonomy.
The focus of our work together is on unraveling the layers of codependency, identifying its roots in past experiences, and understanding its impact on current relationships and self-perception. By cultivating self-awareness and self-compassion, clients are guided towards reclaiming their independence, establishing healthier boundaries, and developing a stronger sense of self-worth. This transformative process not only improves relationships with others but also deepens the connection to oneself, enabling a life lived with more authenticity and fulfillment.
Emphasizing the importance of personal growth and empowerment, my approach seeks to empower individuals to break free from the cycles of codependency, leading to a life marked by healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and a profound sense of inner freedom. Together, we work to create a future where one can engage in relationships not out of neediness or fear, but from a place of strength, wholeness, and genuine love.

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.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency often develops quietly over years, saying yes when you mean no, losing yourself in other people's needs, and measuring your worth by how well you take care of everyone else. Therapy helps you recognize these patterns, understand where they came from, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and others, one where your needs matter too.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Ever feel like your worth is attached to someone else's behavior? What they do or don't do for you? Or what you can or can't do for them? Codependency is when your sense of self-worth and identity starts to depend too much on someone else. Healthy relationships are mutually beneficial, providing love and support to both parties. Codependent relationships, on the other hand, are lopsided, casting one person in the role of constant caregiver. Over time, this dynamic can lead to emotional burnout, resentment, low self-esteem, and difficulty forming mutually healthy relationships. In a healthy relationship, both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity separate from the other person.
Codependency can start for many different reasons, often going back to your early life and the relationships you had growing up. For many people, codependency begins in childhood, particularly in environments marked by addiction, neglect, emotional volatility, or inconsistent caregiving. If you grew up in a home where one or both caregivers were emotionally unavailable, unpredictable, or overly dependent on you for support, you may have learned, consciously or not, that love and safety were earned by putting others’ needs before your own. Cultural messages, especially ones that tell you always to put others’ needs before your own, can also play a big role, especially for women. If you struggle with low self-esteem or have trouble setting boundaries, it can make you more likely to fall into codependent patterns in your relationships.

My approach is warm, relational, and steady—supporting you as you practice new ways of relating that feel authentic, mutual, and sustainable.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Codependency is often an under the radar "suffer in silence" experience. It often goes on undetected and only becomes a problem when it's a really big problem. Maybe you're in an unhealthy relationship or just got out of one? Maybe you feel a lack of self-esteem, a compulsion to people please, or a lack of boundary in your life? Maybe it feels like everything is on your shoulders and you can seem to feel valuable unless you're providing value to others. If any of this sounds like you, I'm glad you're here. In our work together, I will be helping you find the roots that have led you to operating in a codependent way as well has helping you understand and challenge familiar programs so you can have relationships that feel more loving, safe, and reciprocal. You don't have to go it alone; I look forward to meeting you.
