Codependency
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Codependency and enmeshment can gradually blur the boundaries between self and others, making it difficult to recognize your own needs, feelings, and identity. Over time, this can lead to a sense of losing yourself in relationships. We will work to explore these patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and create more balanced ways of relating that allow for both connection and individuality.

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.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
If you are a heart-centred, empathic woman, you might have challenges setting healthy boundaries with people and could be stuck in fawning, pleasing, and appeasing patterns to feel safe and connected. I can support you in defining your values and setting either flexible or non-negotiable boundaries, depending on the circumstances. I can help you move through self-doubt and into your authentic self-expression. The therapy that I offer is in-depth and often involves going back to the inner child, where your inner defense patterns and relationship patterns began, to initiate deep emotional healing and safety.

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.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who have learned to orient themselves around other people’s needs, emotions, or expectations at the expense of their own. This can look like being the reliable one, the steady one, the person others turn to, while privately feeling depleted, unseen, or unsure where your own preferences begin. Many people I see have spent years managing relationships, smoothing conflict, or carrying more than their share because it felt safer than disappointing someone or risking disconnection.
Codependent patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay attuned to others to keep the peace, where your worth was tied to being helpful or accommodating, or where expressing your own needs led to tension, withdrawal, or criticism. Over time, this can make it hard to trust your internal signals, set boundaries without guilt, or believe that your needs matter as much as anyone else’s.
In our work together, we look at how these patterns formed, what they have protected you from, and how they show up in your relationships today. We make space for the part of you that learned to stay small, agreeable, or over responsible in order to feel safe, and for the part of you that is tired of doing so much emotional labor. From there, we explore what it means to move through relationships with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice, without abandoning the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep things stable. Supporting people who have organized themselves around others for a long time is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you have carried.

Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Codependency can be a hard attachment to break. I think it is important to get support on how to heal from this behavior and attain understanding on how to change the cycle. I use IFS, EMDR, and Somatic Therapy for this issue.

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.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is an interpersonal relationship dynamic that is common for individuals with loved ones struggling with substance use. It can also at times present as a challenging relationship dynamic for adolescents as they are trying to separate from family of origin and gain full independence. In either case, I can help with healing from codependence, developing healthier boundaries, and communicating with loved ones about codependent tendencies.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Codependency is a learned pattern of interacting. We can unlearn these patterns, too. First we are going to identify the needs and learn more accurate self talk around self-esteem and self-worth. We will talk about triggers that might cause you to fall back into old patterns and ways to act with love, but not entangled in someone else's distress.

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.
