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.

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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Codependency, also known as unconscious accommodation, develops when we maintain important connections that require us to set aside our own needs or inner world to feel safe and still connected. Over time, this can lead to chronic self-sacrifice and uncertainty about where you end and others begin.
In psychoanalytic work, we explore how these patterns took shape and what parts of you were set aside to preserve closeness. As this becomes clearer, many people begin to reclaim a stronger sense of inner authority and move toward relationships that allow for mutuality rather than self-erasure.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Don't waste your life obsessing about the problems of someone else. Don't spend all your energy trying to control the behaviors of anyone. Codependency is a real addiction that masquerades as love. Love shouldn't hurt...love isn't self-destructive, but codependency is. This is an area of psychotherapy that I know VERY well. I will help you put the focus back on your own life - where it belongs. Nothing is more maddening than trying to do the impossible again and again only to fail again and again. That's codependency in a nut shell. The good news is that you can recover from codependency and learn to be happy. I use Reality Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions to help you get your life back in order and I will teach you ways to change codependent patterns so you can make healthy, self-respecting choices for a better life.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Many of my clients find themselves in codependent relationships as a result of their lifelong attachment styles. Together we will look at these patterns and I will support you in gently shifting these patterns away from codependence towards effective interdependence. It is not about learning to be totally self-reliant either—it is more about having a secure attachment within yourself as a primary source of stability, and then reaching out for connection with others from a whole/healthy place. We are social creatures and we need one another, but we feel better when we can relate with others from a place of sturdiness as much as possible too. From that place, we can ask for our needs to be met and connection to be fulfilled, knowing deeply that we have the right to ask and deserve to be attuned to and met by those closest to us. And we can also learn to self-soothe in the moments that that is not available or possible with our loved ones.

Codependency can show up in different ways. Feeling needy, vulnerable, stuck, list goes on. Understanding attachment patterns and how to change them is integral to becoming more securely attached and less co-dependent.

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.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore codependency issues. Likely you are experiencing pain that you want to end. I can help you gain freedom from the cycle of codependency.

Charis Khoury

For those that were trained to self-abandon, returning "home" and learning to derive self worth from more reliable (internal) sources is one of the most rewarding achievements.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
If you are a heart-centred, empathic woman, you might have challenges setting healthy boundaries with people and could be stuck in fawning, pleasing, and appeasing patterns to feel safe and connected. I can support you in defining your values and setting either flexible or non-negotiable boundaries, depending on the circumstances. I can help you move through self-doubt and into your authentic self-expression. The therapy that I offer is in-depth and often involves going back to the inner child, where your inner defense patterns and relationship patterns began, to initiate deep emotional healing and safety.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help clients untangle patterns of codependency by slowing down, getting curious, and reconnecting with their own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom. Together, we explore the stories and survival strategies that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck, making space for more choice, agency, and self‑trust. My approach is warm, relational, and steady—supporting you as you practice new ways of relating that feel authentic, mutual, and sustainable.
