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.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Patterns of overgiving, difficulty setting boundaries, or losing a sense of self in relationships often develop over time and can feel hard to change. I help individuals understand these patterns at a deeper level—where they come from and how they continue to play out. Through this work, clients begin to develop clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness, and more balanced, fulfilling relationships.

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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
I consider codependence is very simple terms as the behavior of taking care of someone at one's own expense. Many of us learn are value is in how muuch we will give to others which tends to mean abandoning ourselves. If you find yourself over-giving, caretaking, or losing yourself in relationships, we’ll gently uncover the roots of those patterns and build stronger boundaries, self-trust, and more balanced intimacy. The cure for codependency can be more self awareness and the ability to identify one's emotions and needs which I love to support folks on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency often develops when a person becomes overly focused on the emotional needs, approval, behaviors, or wellbeing of others while losing connection with their own needs, identity, and emotional boundaries. Many individuals struggling with codependent patterns experience chronic guilt, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional exhaustion, or repeated involvement in unhealthy or one-sided relationships.
I help clients better understand the relational and emotional patterns underlying codependency while developing greater self-awareness, emotional autonomy, assertiveness, and healthier interpersonal boundaries. Therapy focuses on helping clients build more balanced and authentic relationships without losing their sense of self in the process.

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.
