Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency is not the opposite of independence. It is the chronic neglect of oneself for the sake of others. This can look like saying yes to things you'd rather say no to for fear of upsetting someone. Or for not expressing your needs for fear of another person's reaction. Together, we work on identifying the uncomfortable parts around conflict and step deeper into developing your sense of self and honoring your own emotions and needs.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Codependency often develops from early attachment wounds, trauma, or environments where love felt conditional. You may find yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, or tying your worth to being needed. In therapy, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and help you build a stronger, more secure sense of self. Together, we work on developing healthy boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-worth grounded in truth—not performance—so you can experience balanced, life-giving relationships rather than exhausting ones.

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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Growing up in a less than nurturing environment can lead to all sorts of codependent traits, resulting in struggles with: self-esteem, self-care, boundaries, controlling others, taking care of your adult needs, perfectionism, and emotional flooding, to name a few. I am well versed in the 12-step program of codependents anonymous and the issues that are helped through attending meetings. I recommend the program, but it is not required to understand or heal the above issues.

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.

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.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Codependency often shows up as caring for others while ignoring yourself. In therapy, I help clients notice these patterns, understand where they come from, and practice healthier boundaries. The work is about finding a way to give and receive love without losing yourself in the process.

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.

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.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Do you find it difficult to say no? Do you always put the needs of others ahead of your own? Do you feel selfish when you take care of yourself? While many people who answer yes to these questions have a generous heart, they can end up feeling used up, taken advantage of, and burned out. Therapy can be a great place to learn to understand the importance of your own needs and how to meet them in a way that's self-nourishing, not selfish.

Dr. Cassidy Blair, PSY.D.
Psychologist, B.A., M.A., Psy.D.
Codependency calls for effective therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, seeking to alter the character of close interpersonal relationships.

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.
