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.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many clients who grew up with parental alcoholism, chronic rage, or narcissistic or borderline traits find themselves struggling with codependency in adult relationships. Early environments shaped by volatility or emotional unpredictability can create profound anxiety in children, threatening their sense of safety and attachment. In response, many learn to prioritize maintaining connection at any cost—often at the expense of their own needs, feelings, and boundaries.
Using an integrative approach that includes IFS parts work, ISTDP, and the somatic processing of EMDR and Brainspotting, I help clients rebuild their relationship with themselves—strengthening self-esteem, self-trust, and assertiveness. As clients deepen their internal security, their external relationships often shift as well. They become more able to show up authentically, tolerate conflict, and make choices aligned with their well-being rather than fear.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Codependency is much more than spending a lot of time with someone else. It is being tangled up together like 2 sets of stringed lights and when one tries to pull away to do something independently, the other feels threatened, upset, abandoned, or a variety of other experiences. These are often rooted in a childhood where healthy boundaries were not modeled.

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.

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.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Codependency and people-pleasing can be an adaptation to the environment in which we grew up. Understanding that our own needs are our legitimate concern, and setting boundaries so that these needs are met, is necessary to prevent burnout.

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.

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.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is about relationships and how others can affect us in unhealthy ways. This can often look like being consumed by worries for how others are doing (family, friends, colleagues, etc.), people-pleasing, not expressing our own thoughts/feelings, and/or losing our sense of self. Our identity can be dependent on trying to “fix” other people’s problems and not focusing on our own. This may also be due to not recognizing our own emotions and/or problems. Therapy can help you improve the relationship you have with yourself and others.
