Codependency
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.

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.

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.

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.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Putting the emotional and physical needs of another before yourself, or at the cost of your own wellbeing and sanity is an important pattern to become aware of. It takes time to cultivate insight into core beliefs of self and how enabling behaviors can lead to resentment and/or more suffering. I will guide you through a process to identify your 'no's' and 'yes's' as well as your boundaries and needs.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Codependency is much more than spending a lot of time with someone else. It is being tangled up together like 2 sets of stringed lights and when one tries to pull away to do something independently, the other feels threatened, upset, abandoned, or a variety of other experiences. These are often rooted in a childhood where healthy boundaries were not modeled.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who struggle with patterns often described as codependence, including over-responsibility for others, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of self that becomes organised around relationships. These patterns are usually adaptive responses developed over time, rather than personal failings.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how these relational strategies developed and what they may be protecting. Sessions focus on increasing clarity about needs, limits, and patterns of attachment, allowing different ways of relating to emerge. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is about relationships and how others can affect us in unhealthy ways. This can often look like being consumed by worries for how others are doing (family, friends, colleagues, etc.), people-pleasing, not expressing our own thoughts/feelings, and/or losing our sense of self. Our identity can be dependent on trying to “fix” other people’s problems and not focusing on our own. This may also be due to not recognizing our own emotions and/or problems. Therapy can help you improve the relationship you have with yourself and others.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I provide couples/family/relational therapy for adolescents and adults both in the context of their relationships as well as through relationship-focused therapy for individuals who want to improve their interpersonal lives. Our relationships impact our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors. Relationships can be supportive, or they can weigh us down. How our relationships impact us can be obvious to us and everyone around us, or they can be insidious and live in the pit of our stomachs-- creeping up on us as feelings we can’t put the right words to. ...and anywhere in between… It can be difficult to understand and connect how these feelings slowly change what we do and who we are. ‘Relational’ therapy with more than one client aims to help improve interactions with each other, achieve relational goals, and cultivate value and meaning together.

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!

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
So many of us have been socialized to center other people's emotions at the expense of our own needs. We do this without thought, without understanding the consequences to ourselves because for so long, it has just felt like What We Are Supposed To Do. But it doesn't have to be like this. You are the main character in your life after all! As such, your responsibilities are simple: (1) be clear, and (2) be kind. You are not responsible for how others respond to your boundaries, but you ARE responsible for communicating them (hard!) and for holding them (harder!). Together, we can work on helping you to start noticing these patterns as they play out, experimenting with different ways of relating, and building healthier boundaries that allow you to care for both yourself and your loved ones more wholeheartedly.

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

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.

Annalisa Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we liberate ourselves from the grips of codependency, we learn to choose ourselves and stop letting others run our lives. This involves boundary work as well as exploring rehearsed patterns of self abandonment.
