Codependency
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.

Codependency
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.

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.

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.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency often involves over-functioning, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions and choices. We will sort through where these patterns came from, what they have cost you, and why they have been so hard to change. I help clients build healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and more balanced relationships that do not depend on guilt, fear, or over-responsibility.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Codependency often stems from deep-rooted, learned behaviors—such as early childhood dysfunction or trauma—that lead to a "loss of self" in relationships. My work focuses on guiding clients to:
Establish healthy boundaries and stop "people-pleasing".
Reclaim their identity and self-worth, independent of others' approval.
Shift from over-functioning to fostering balanced, mutual, and secure connections.
I believe that by understanding their emotional wiring, my clients can move from surviving in stressful relationships to thriving with self-compassion, transforming their anxiety into empowerment.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time. I get their habit disorder treated by my Dicit hyptherapy and clinical hypnosis. How Hypnotherapy Treats Codependency: Hypnotherapy works to change underlying, often subconscious, beliefs such as "I am only valuable if I am helping others" or "I must fix my partner's problems".Setting Boundaries: It helps individuals establish healthy emotional boundaries and gain the confidence to say "no" without guilt. Addressing Root Causes: By relaxing the mind, therapists can access memories or traumas that triggered the codependent behavior to foster emotional healing. Building Self-Esteem: Hypnotherapy helps individuals reconnect with their own needs, interests, and identity outside of the relationship.

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.

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

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.
