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.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
People-pleasing, conflict avoidance, difficulty setting boundaries, caretaking at the expense of oneself, and intense anxiety in relationships can often be signs of codependency. Many people don't feel like they can be okay unless everyone they love is okay. This can appear of loving but often feels exhausting. I work with clients to help them understand where their codependent behaviors originated and how they currently impact their life so that client's can process unconscious fears and become more independent, confident, and healthier in relationships.

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.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When my identity becomes wrapped up in what my partner thinks about me, I find myself in the codependant position. It becomes hard for me or my partner to feel anything because our feelings are so triggering to each other. If we were both healthy my partner could have a bad day or a bad mood and I could be fine. But when I am codependent, I need my partner to be happy all the time because if they mad, sad, or bad, it means there is something wrong with me and now I am in an identity crisis. If you can relate to this, reach out to us, we can help you engage principles of relational intelligence in your life that will support your emotional stability and relational well being.

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.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
We learn the rules of love and relationship at a very young age. Often times the things we learn help us to survive our childhood environment. These same survival skills may not always continue to serve out adult relationships. Learning to relate and develop intimacy in a more healthy way can have a tremendous impact on the quality of your relationships and your life.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
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.

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.

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.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency is a common by-product of trauma, when safe boundaries weren't available and people pleasing and over-responsibility for others emotions was a survival skill. When no longer needed to survive, codependency can leave one feeling drained, unseen, and overly responsible for the people around you. An integrated approach with EMDR and/or IFS is particularly helpful with untangling the mixed up thoughts and emotions from past experiences, to integrate appropriate assignment of responsibility, learn and practice healthy boundary setting and increase self-worth.

I work with codependent clients to help them understand how their behavior achieves the opposite of the healthy outcome they desire by creating an inverse motivational structure.

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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Codependent patterns often develop as adaptations to earlier relationships and environments where love, approval, or emotional safety felt uncertain. You may find yourself prioritizing others' needs, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or losing touch with your own needs. I help you understand the origins of these patterns, build healthier boundaries, strengthen your sense of self, and create relationships that feel more balanced, secure, and fulfilling.
