Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
I have worked with codependents for many years. John Bradshaw, a popular author and leader in this field, referred to me as a “Master Therapist.” The concept of Codependency, though not included in the Diagnostic Manual, points to relationships that have become dysfunctional with one person so enmeshed in being the Caregiver (the Giver) that they enable the other (the Taker) to constantly receive without giving support and care in return. This dynamic can occur in any kind of relationship, not just romantic. Although the role of the Giver arises out of loving kindness, there is an element of attachment to being the “Rescuer” that enables the Taker to continue their dysfunctional behaviors (e.g. substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, abusiveness, etc.) as the Giver inadvertently shields them from the results of their dysfunctional behaviors. If this dynamic is not interrupted, the Giver eventually becomes exhausted, frustrated and burned out, in need of the support, healing, and self-awareness provided through therapy. I offer free zoom seminars, which give you a taste of how I can help with relationship issues. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Codependency often develops so gradually that most people don't recognize it until they are completely exhausted — emotionally drained by relationships that consistently prioritize everyone else's needs over their own. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and break codependent relationship patterns, rebuild healthy boundaries, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to untangle the deep-rooted beliefs driving codependent behavior and build genuinely healthier relationships. Telehealth therapy for codependency available across 40+ states.

In sessions, I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address codependency by helping clients develop healthier boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and enhance interpersonal effectiveness. Through individual and group therapy sessions, I incorporate specific DBT skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and assertiveness training to empower clients to break free from codependent patterns.

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.

Stacy Brumage
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCP, LCPC
I specialize in offering compassionate support for individuals navigating codependency issues. Codependency often stems from complex dynamics in relationships, where individuals prioritize others' needs and emotions over their own, leading to a loss of self-identity and unhealthy dependency patterns.

Through personalized therapy sessions, I help clients unravel dysfunctional thought patterns, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth and autonomy. Using evidence-based techniques such as boundary setting exercises, inner child work, and mindfulness practices, I empower clients to break free from codependent cycles and cultivate fulfilling, balanced relationships.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have learned to defer to others, feeling like a burden if they consider and try to communicate their needs or limits, which is the foundation of codependency. These folks have learned to betray themselves in order to preserve their attachments, often leading to resentment, burnout, anxiety and depression.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services for codependency are designed to address and heal the patterns of behavior that lead individuals to form or maintain one-sided, emotionally destructive, and often abusive relationships. Understanding that codependency stems from deep-seated needs and often begins in one's family of origin, we provide a supportive environment that promotes self-awareness, independence, and healthier relational dynamics.
Empowering Self-Sufficiency and Healthier Relationships
* Identifying Patterns: We help clients identify patterns of codependent behavior and understand the underlying psychological factors that contribute to these patterns, such as low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or an excessive need for approval.
* Establishing Boundaries: A key focus of counseling is teaching clients how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships. This includes learning to say no, recognizing one's own needs and desires, and understanding the distinction between helping and enabling.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is utilized to challenge and change unhelpful beliefs and behaviors that perpetuate codependency, fostering a healthier, more autonomous sense of self.
* Building Self-Esteem: Counseling sessions are geared toward boosting self-esteem and self-worth, empowering clients to feel confident in standing alone and valuing their own well-being as much as they value the well-being of others.
* Encouraging Interdependence: We focus on transitioning from codependency to interdependence, where healthy, mutual give-and-take relationships are the norm.
Goals of Counseling for Codependency
Our therapy for codependency aims to:
* Promote Self-Reliance: Encourage a stronger, more independent self-identity separate from one’s relationships.
* Healthy Relationship Dynamics: Facilitate the development of relationships characterized by mutual respect, balance, and emotional honesty.
* Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Equip clients with skills to manage their emotions effectively, reducing the tendency to use relationships as a way to soothe or suppress these feelings.
* Increased Awareness: Heighten self-awareness regarding the origins and triggers of codependent behaviors, enabling proactive changes.
* Lifestyle Adjustments: Support clients in making practical changes to their lifestyles that reinforce healthy interpersonal behaviors and thought patterns.
Codependency can overshadow your sense of self and disrupt your ability to maintain balanced, fulfilling relationships. With our support, you can uncover the roots of your codependent behaviors, develop a healthier approach to relationships, and embrace a more self-directed life. Reach out today to start your journey toward lasting change and relational health.

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Is most of your time spent worrying about and taking care of others? Does it feel almost impossible to share what's really on in your mind because you fear being rejected? Do you experience feelings of guilt or shame when you think about doing something just for you?
If you are ready to find freedom from the feelings of guilt and shame that are holding you hostage, counseling can help. You can learn to make yourself a priority while having relationships that are nurturing and supportive. You know that you "should" be taking better care of yourself and stop letting others take advantage of your kindness. But whenever you think about it you feel lost and overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin. Together, we will work through the feelings of guilt, shame, and fear that are keeping you from being able to honor your voice. We will work through your mental/emotional blocks so you can learn to "trust your gut" again. You will learn how to create healthy boundaries in your relationships so you can say "yes" or "no" to things with confidence.
If you are ready to finally become a priority in your life then I would love to help.

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.
