The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
Getting to the root of codependency by exploring the feelings that arise that trigger behaviors of emotionally dependency on others and learning to work with those feelings by first noticing them and then patiently and mindfully applying skills to help us recognize our codependent patterns can begin to break those patterns.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it is easy to lose yourself in the effort to help them. You may find yourself managing their crises, making excuses for their behavior, or putting your own needs so far aside that you can no longer remember what they were. Codependency is not a character flaw. It is a learned pattern and it can change. We work with partners, parents, and family members to help them set healthier boundaries, rebuild their own sense of self, and find more effective ways to support their loved one without sacrificing their own wellbeing in the process.

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I have helped many clients understand and overcome co-dependency issues. This work is often referred to as differentiation work. It is not easy to have a mind of your own when the people who raised you brought you into their internal dramas and played them out with you. I am here to help such people find their voice and their own unique sense of self.

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.

We aren't born codependent--these are behaviors we developed over time (usually in childhood) in an attempt to get our needs met.

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.

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.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Codependency often begins as care, loyalty, or sensitivity—but over time it can become self-abandonment. And when you abandon yourself, you don’t actually protect the relationship—you weaken it.
Oftentimes, many people find themselves over-functioning, people-pleasing, managing another’s emotions, or staying in relationships that require them to shrink their needs in order to keep connection. The result is often a combination of anxiety, resentment, exhaustion, and a loss of clarity about what they actually want.
In our work together, we aim to de-escalate these patterns and explore what they’ve been protecting: perhaps a fear of conflict, abandonment, guilt, or the belief that love must be earned through sacrifice. We build practical skills for boundaries, self-trust, and direct communication, so you can stay connected without losing yourself. The goal is not to become “less caring,” but to create relationships that include you—relationships where care and reciprocity can coexist.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Codependency often develops so gradually that most people don't recognize it until they are completely exhausted — emotionally drained by relationships that consistently prioritize everyone else's needs over their own. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and break codependent relationship patterns, rebuild healthy boundaries, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to untangle the deep-rooted beliefs driving codependent behavior and build genuinely healthier relationships. Telehealth therapy for codependency available across 40+ states.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Codependency often develops from early attachment wounds, trauma, or environments where love felt conditional. You may find yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, or tying your worth to being needed. In therapy, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and help you build a stronger, more secure sense of self. Together, we work on developing healthy boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-worth grounded in truth—not performance—so you can experience balanced, life-giving relationships rather than exhausting ones.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Growing up in a less than nurturing environment can lead to all sorts of codependent traits, resulting in struggles with: self-esteem, self-care, boundaries, controlling others, taking care of your adult needs, perfectionism, and emotional flooding, to name a few. I am well versed in the 12-step program of codependents anonymous and the issues that are helped through attending meetings. I recommend the program, but it is not required to understand or heal the above issues.

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. A therapist with certification in Domestic Violence would be the best person who can help the clients with the codependency issues in their relationship.
