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.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Setting healthy boundaries is something many of us did not effectively learn in childhood, even in the most well meaning and loving of families. We have, instead, learned to live life to serve others and to prioritize the needs of others, even when doing so harms ourselves. My approach is to help my clients create healthy boundaries, advocate for the self, learn to communicate our needs clearly and directly, and then learn to act upon the needs we have outlined to those we love so we can cultivate healthy and mutually effective relationships. Cutting the ties of codependency is central to this process: staying in one's own lane, letting others solve their own problems, offering compassion and help when asked, letting go of the rescue fantasy, living without an emotional hangover, and learning to accept that there is much we cannot control.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Codependency shows up quietly — in the habit of prioritizing everyone else's needs before your own, in the anxiety that comes when you try to set a boundary, in the way your emotional state rises and falls with someone else's. Many of my clients don't initially name it as codependency. They just know that they feel responsible for people in a way that exhausts them, and that saying no feels dangerous. Therapy gives you space to examine where those patterns came from, what they're costing you, and how to build relationships that feel genuinely mutual rather than one-sided.

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.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Codependency and people-pleasing can be an adaptation to the environment in which we grew up. Understanding that our own needs are our legitimate concern, and setting boundaries so that these needs are met, is necessary to prevent burnout.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Chronic people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, and a habit of prioritizing others' needs over your own can quickly drain your mental well-being. Using evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies, I help individuals identify the origins of codependent habits and break free from toxic relationship cycles. Our clinical work focuses heavily on establishing healthy personal boundaries, building secure attachment styles, and shifting the therapeutic lens back to your own self-worth, autonomy, and identity.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Codependency often develops as a brilliant survival strategy in response to past trauma or unpredictable environments. If you find yourself constantly reading the room, managing everyone else’s moods, or feeling an intense wave of guilt whenever you try to say 'no,' you are likely trapped in a codependent loop. I help chronic peacekeepers and over-functioners dismantle the 'fawn' response that keeps them neglecting their own needs. Together, we will work to untangle your identity from the burdens of others, quiet the fear of conflict, and build the confidence to set firm, healthy boundaries without the crushing weight of guilt

Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Codependent relationships are often described as being marked by intimacy problems, dependency, control (including caretaking), denial, dysfunctional communication and boundaries, and high reactivity. There may be imbalance within the relationship, where one person is abusive or in control or supports or enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement.
Under this conception of codependency, the codependent person's sense of purpose within a relationship is based on making extreme sacrifices to satisfy their partner's needs. Codependent relationships signify a degree of unhealthy "clinginess" and needy behavior, where one person does not have self-sufficiency or autonomy. One or both parties depend on their loved one for fulfillment. The mood and emotions of the codependent are often determined by how they think other individuals perceive them (especially loved ones). This perception is self-inflicted and often leads to clingy, needy behavior which can hurt the health of the relationship.
Addressing codependency in one's life can be very freeing and is the key for many in establishing and defining a healthy relationship with self and others.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Codependency and addiction are closely linked, as codependent behaviors often arise in relationships where addiction is present. Whether the addiction involves substances, behaviors, or other compulsions, codependency can perpetuate unhealthy cycles, enabling the addict while compromising the emotional well-being of the codependent individual.
The Role of Professional Help:
Therapy: Individual or couples therapy can address the root causes of codependency and addiction, promoting healthier interactions.
Family Systems Work: Addiction and codependency often stem from family dynamics, making family therapy a valuable tool.
Education: Understanding addiction as a disease and codependency as a learned behavior can foster empathy and promote healthier choices.

Cleveland carries a post-industrial identity with deep civic pride, and the mental health effects of decades of economic decline — job loss, population contraction, and community stress — are themes many local therapists engage with regularly. The city is home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world's premier medical institutions, which maintains extensive psychiatric and behavioral health services alongside a large private practice community concentrated in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and Lakewood. Cleveland's large Black community and history of racial inequity drive demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and social justice themes. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center provides additional institutional mental health resources in a city with a well-established independent practice community.
