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.

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.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it is easy to lose yourself in the effort to help them. You may find yourself managing their crises, making excuses for their behavior, or putting your own needs so far aside that you can no longer remember what they were. Codependency is not a character flaw. It is a learned pattern and it can change. We work with partners, parents, and family members to help them set healthier boundaries, rebuild their own sense of self, and find more effective ways to support their loved one without sacrificing their own wellbeing in the process.

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.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Codependency often develops from early attachment wounds, trauma, or environments where love felt conditional. You may find yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, or tying your worth to being needed. In therapy, we gently explore the roots of these patterns and help you build a stronger, more secure sense of self. Together, we work on developing healthy boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-worth grounded in truth—not performance—so you can experience balanced, life-giving relationships rather than exhausting ones.

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.

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.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My amazing therapist once told me that codependency is giving away the care you most long for in the hope that the person receiving it will reciprocate. We learn this strategy of connecting to others when being direct about our own needs made others feel burdened or annoyed or if they became a little more available if we took care of them in some way. Understanding this is the first step in healing. In therapy, we go deeper, really listening to what you most need and long for to feel nurtured and supported. We explore ways you can nurture yourself. And then, as you feel ready, we look at safe ways to be more direct in telling others what you need. This work isn't easy. It can feel risky to be honest about your real feelings and needs. It can feel scary to set boundaries when you don't have the energy or desire to care for others. But the freedom that comes with letting go of this old pattern feels so good. It lets you find the people who can engage in mutual relationships. More than that, it builds a deep sense of trust in yourself, knowing that you will always treat yourself with respect and care - because you matter to the one person who will always be with you - yourself.

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.

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!

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
People-pleasing, conflict avoidance, difficulty setting boundaries, caretaking at the expense of oneself, and intense anxiety in relationships can often be signs of codependency. Many people don't feel like they can be okay unless everyone they love is okay. This can appear of loving but often feels exhausting. I work with clients to help them understand where their codependent behaviors originated and how they currently impact their life so that client's can process unconscious fears and become more independent, confident, and healthier in relationships.

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Codependency often shows up as chronic worry about others, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. My approach focuses on understanding the emotional and biological factors that contribute to these patterns, including anxiety, mood, and nervous system stress. Visits emphasize insight, support, and practical guidance, with psychiatric care integrated when appropriate, to help individuals feel more grounded, balanced, and self-directed.
