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.

J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Codependency often shows up as putting others’ needs before your own, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions. You may find yourself overgiving, seeking reassurance, or struggling to feel secure in relationships. I help clients understand these patterns, build a stronger sense of self, and develop healthier, more balanced ways of relating.

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.

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.

Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Many people learn early in life to care for others before caring for themselves. Therapy can help you understand your attachment style so you may strengthen healthy boundaries, reconnect with your own needs, make confident decisions, and build relationships that feel mutual rather than exhausting. You will learn how to resource yourself with embodying and self-care practices. Learning to love all the parts of you.

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.

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.

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.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Putting the emotional and physical needs of another before yourself, or at the cost of your own wellbeing and sanity is an important pattern to become aware of. It takes time to cultivate insight into core beliefs of self and how enabling behaviors can lead to resentment and/or more suffering. I will guide you through a process to identify your 'no's' and 'yes's' as well as your boundaries and needs.
