Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency often involves losing yourself in relationships, putting others’ needs above your own, struggling with boundaries, or tying your self-worth to how others feel. I help individuals recognize these patterns, rebuild a strong sense of self, and develop healthier, more balanced relationships. Together, we’ll work to create emotional independence, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of confidence and self-respect.

Codependency can be a very difficult thing to navigate. I want you to know that we will work through this together. There is nothing wrong with you and you are not broken. There is some warning signal going off that we need to pay attention to and work through together.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with codependency by helping them better understand patterns of over-reliance, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries in relationships. Codependency often involves prioritizing others’ needs at the expense of your own, which can lead to resentment, burnout, and a loss of sense of self. In therapy, we focus on increasing self-awareness, building healthier boundaries, and strengthening your ability to identify and communicate your own needs. I incorporate CBT and DBT-based strategies, including interpersonal effectiveness skills, to help challenge unhelpful beliefs and support you in developing more balanced, fulfilling relationships.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
In my work with codependency, I help people see how the urge to over-give and put others first didn’t come out of nowhere. These patterns often begin early in life, when learning to be helpful, agreeable, or self-sacrificing felt like the safest way to stay connected. Over time, that can turn into setting your own needs aside and measuring your worth by how much you do for others. Therapy offers a compassionate space to slow this down, understand it, and begin responding to yourself with more honesty and care.
Drawing from my book - Own Your Voice, I help clients reconnect with their inner voice and create better boundaries. Together, we focus on noticing where you’ve been accepting too little, giving too much, or silencing yourself to keep the peace. As you learn to trust your voice and respect your limits, relationships start to feel less draining and more mutual—rooted in choice, self-respect, and real connection.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with codependency, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through therapy, we work together to identify patterns of codependent behavior and the underlying beliefs that drive them. I offer guidance and tools to help patients develop healthier coping mechanisms, set boundaries, and prioritize their own needs and well-being. Additionally, I provide education about healthy relationships and communication skills, empowering patients to cultivate more fulfilling connections with others while maintaining their sense of self. My goal is to support patients in breaking free from codependency, fostering self-compassion, and building a life based on authenticity, autonomy, and resilience.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
Relationships are tricky, since our relational blueprints are made when we are very young. We will work to understand the underlying beliefs and emotions that maintain relationship patterns and dynamics that are no longer working for you, utilizing behavioral techniques (CBT, DBT, ACT) as well as a depth, psychodynamic approach.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Codependency often reflects early relational patterns in which emotional needs, boundaries, and self-worth became entangled with the needs of others. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to understand how these patterns continue to shape adult relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional autonomy, clarity, and the capacity to remain connected to oneself while being close to others.

Co-dependency is an expression of the False Self developed in a narcissistic &/or alcoholic home. It's the compulsion to find one's identity through the eyes of other people, instead of from inside oneself. (Blog : 2017)

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency can feel like being trapped in over-responsibility for others while neglecting yourself. Using IFS, attachment-focused work. I help clients understand the parts of them driving these patterns and build healthier boundaries. Narrative and experiential therapies further support reclaiming self-worth and agency. I also offer diagnostic clarity when codependent patterns overlap with trauma, depression, or personality features.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Codependency can show up as a strong focus on others’ needs at the expense of your own, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for how others think and feel. In therapy, we’ll explore how these patterns developed and what they’ve come to mean for you. By building greater awareness and a more balanced sense of self, you can begin to set clearer boundaries, feel more grounded in your own needs, and create relationships that feel more mutual and sustainable.
