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.

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.

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Struggling with codependency can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, and unsure of your own needs or boundaries. You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your well-being, feeling responsible for fixing or rescuing those around you, or experiencing guilt when you try to put yourself first. As a licensed psychologist with expertise in trauma, addiction, and mood disorders, I understand how codependent patterns often develop as a way to cope with past experiences and relational wounds. In therapy, we work together to uncover these underlying dynamics, build self-awareness, and strengthen your sense of identity and self-worth.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help clients develop healthier boundaries, improve communication, and learn how to engage in relationships from a place of balance rather than obligation or fear. Whether codependency is connected to past trauma, substance use, or ongoing anxiety or depression, our work will focus on helping you create more fulfilling, stable, and authentic connections, starting with the relationship you have with yourself.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
If you notice that you tend toward people-pleasing, supporting others before yourself, experience variable levels of self-esteem based on what is happening in your life and what people say to you, and setting boundaries feels really, really hard...then it is possible that you want some support around ways of showing up that are not in your best interests.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for people who find themselves chronically over-functioning, caretaking, people-pleasing, shape-shifting, minimizing their own needs, anticipating the needs of others, or feeling responsible for the emotions, wellbeing, comfort, or stability of those around them. These patterns often develop as intelligent adaptations within family systems, trauma, cultural expectations, caregiving roles, marginalization, neurodivergence, or environments where safety, belonging, acceptance, or survival depended upon attunement to others.
This work explores the protective and prescribed roles these patterns may have played throughout your life and the ways they may have shaped identity, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, decision-making, and connection to your own needs, desires, emotions, and body. Particular attention is given to the influence of family dynamics, culture, gender socialization, attachment experiences, systemic oppression, internalized beliefs, and the messages you may have received about responsibility, worthiness, sacrifice, and care.
These patterns often live not only in thoughts and beliefs, but within the nervous system itself. They may show up as hypervigilance, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty asking for help, guilt when resting, discomfort receiving care, difficulty identifying needs, over-explaining, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that your value comes from what you do for others rather than who you are.
Through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and nervous-system-centered lens, space is created for greater self-trust, authenticity, reciprocity, discernment, and connection to your own inner experience. The goal is not to stop caring for others, but to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and with relationships where care can flow in multiple directions and where your needs, humanity, and wellbeing are nurtured by the same compassion and attention you so readily offer to everyone else.

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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Many of my clients find themselves in codependent relationships as a result of their lifelong attachment styles. Together we will look at these patterns and I will support you in gently shifting these patterns away from codependence towards effective interdependence. It is not about learning to be totally self-reliant either—it is more about having a secure attachment within yourself as a primary source of stability, and then reaching out for connection with others from a whole/healthy place. We are social creatures and we need one another, but we feel better when we can relate with others from a place of sturdiness as much as possible too. From that place, we can ask for our needs to be met and connection to be fulfilled, knowing deeply that we have the right to ask and deserve to be attuned to and met by those closest to us. And we can also learn to self-soothe in the moments that that is not available or possible with our loved ones.

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.

Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped these dynamics, helping you develop healthier boundaries, greater self-awareness, and stronger self-worth. My goal is to empower you to build relationships that are balanced, authentic, and rooted in mutual respect rather than guilt, fear, or the need to please others.

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.

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.
