Codependency
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!

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.

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.

Sandy Kong
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.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency often develops quietly over years, saying yes when you mean no, losing yourself in other people's needs, and measuring your worth by how well you take care of everyone else. Therapy helps you recognize these patterns, understand where they came from, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and others, one where your needs matter too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Matthew Bishop

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.
