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.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Codependency often shows up as putting others' needs before your own, struggling with boundaries, and losing yourself in relationships. If you find yourself constantly trying to please others, feeling responsible for their emotions, or staying in unhealthy dynamics, you may be experiencing codependency. In our work together, I’ll help you recognize patterns of codependency, explore their origins, and develop healthier ways to relate to others. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your sense of self, establishing strong boundaries, and building fulfilling, balanced relationships. You deserve to love and care for yourself as much as you do for others.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Charis Khoury

For those that were trained to self-abandon, returning "home" and learning to derive self worth from more reliable (internal) sources is one of the most rewarding achievements.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Codependency often begins as care, loyalty, or sensitivity—but over time it can become self-abandonment. And when you abandon yourself, you don’t actually protect the relationship—you weaken it.
Oftentimes, many people find themselves over-functioning, people-pleasing, managing another’s emotions, or staying in relationships that require them to shrink their needs in order to keep connection. The result is often a combination of anxiety, resentment, exhaustion, and a loss of clarity about what they actually want.
In our work together, we aim to de-escalate these patterns and explore what they’ve been protecting: perhaps a fear of conflict, abandonment, guilt, or the belief that love must be earned through sacrifice. We build practical skills for boundaries, self-trust, and direct communication, so you can stay connected without losing yourself. The goal is not to become “less caring,” but to create relationships that include you—relationships where care and reciprocity can coexist.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
