Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Struggling with codependency can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, and unsure of your own needs or boundaries. You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your well-being, feeling responsible for fixing or rescuing those around you, or experiencing guilt when you try to put yourself first. As a licensed psychologist with expertise in trauma, addiction, and mood disorders, I understand how codependent patterns often develop as a way to cope with past experiences and relational wounds. In therapy, we work together to uncover these underlying dynamics, build self-awareness, and strengthen your sense of identity and self-worth.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help clients develop healthier boundaries, improve communication, and learn how to engage in relationships from a place of balance rather than obligation or fear. Whether codependency is connected to past trauma, substance use, or ongoing anxiety or depression, our work will focus on helping you create more fulfilling, stable, and authentic connections, starting with the relationship you have with yourself.

Difficulty maintaining boundaries and self-focus can be severely destructive within interpersonal relationships. Learning to dis-entangle enmeshed relationships and focus on the integrity of self is crucial.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Codependency can be like a heavy burden, pulling us down and clouding our vision. But, together, we can learn to navigate our relationships and find balance. As a therapist, my goal is to be a compassionate guide on your journey towards understanding and transcending patterns of codependency. Together, we will explore the underlying causes of your behaviors, and develop effective strategies for healthy communication and boundaries. We'll use mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to help you understand the impact of your actions on others, and work towards advocating for your own needs in social situations. My guidance will be gentle and understanding, as we work towards a brighter future, with healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Let's start this journey together, and take the first step towards inner peace and self-discovery.

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.

Emma Esper

Codependency is an emotional and behavioral condition, often learned from our families-of-origin. We will work on increasing boundary setting, increasing self-worth, and processing feelings of guilt and shame that arise from making yourself a priority.

Kristin Robert

I work with codependency by helping clients recognize patterns of overfunctioning, people pleasing, and self-neglect that often develop in response to relational or emotional instability. Therapy focuses on strengthening boundaries, increasing self-trust, and supporting more reciprocal, balanced relationships.

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 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.

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.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work from an attachment perspective with codependency, recognizing codependency as a style of relating often learned early in life, sometimes from within in the womb. We'll explore stories of connection: such as when you have felt most seen and heard, loved and cherished, as well as when you have felt yourself chameleon-ing to keep someone present in your life. We'll really look at what the cues are for when you feel safe to stay in the integrity of your Core Self vs. when you find yourself sacrificing what you really want to meet the needs of others, weighing them as more valuable than yourself. I'll reflect back to you when I see you excelling in moments of prioritizing yourself without disrespecting others, a beautiful balance of self- and other-love that allows for each person to be their own individual within the relationship.

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.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many clients who grew up with parental alcoholism, chronic rage, or narcissistic or borderline traits find themselves struggling with codependency in adult relationships. Early environments shaped by volatility or emotional unpredictability can create profound anxiety in children, threatening their sense of safety and attachment. In response, many learn to prioritize maintaining connection at any cost—often at the expense of their own needs, feelings, and boundaries.
Using an integrative approach that includes IFS parts work, ISTDP, and the somatic processing of EMDR and Brainspotting, I help clients rebuild their relationship with themselves—strengthening self-esteem, self-trust, and assertiveness. As clients deepen their internal security, their external relationships often shift as well. They become more able to show up authentically, tolerate conflict, and make choices aligned with their well-being rather than fear.
