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.

Erika Barrington
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BC-DMT
Codependency is something I'm deeply familiar with — both professionally and personally — and it's one of my greatest passions to work on with clients. At its core, I think of codependency as a struggle with interdependence: being connected to others while still remaining a separate person with your own needs, feelings, and limits. It often shows up as putting others' needs first, tying your own wellbeing to someone else's, or feeling compelled to fix or manage another person's pain.
Trauma and neurodivergence can both quietly set us up for these patterns — when your needs have been dismissed or overlooked, it makes sense that you learn to deprioritize them. One of the most powerful early steps is just naming what's been happening: education alone can feel like you're finally getting a map of your inner life. From there, we do the real healing work with whatever we discover. For clients who are open to it, we may also explore peer support options, including 12-step communities organized around codependency recovery — though this is always entirely your call.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
Attachment disorders, including codependency, are very common in enmeshed family systems and also in individuals coping with trauma, its effects, as well as with individuals who might be lacking balance or boundary awareness in their lives. Attachment and bonding difficulties were one of my areas of practice, professionally. This stated, shifting to a state of "oneness and constant contact with God" can help individuals find the peace they are seeking.The art and science of attaching and detaching are taught to clients using advanced psycho-educational approaches and models/ modalities. By teaching the concept of "oneness", these states can also be healed more easily so less anxiety regarding separation occurs and more healthy, positive, stable relationships with self and others can be achieved and maintained, over time.

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.

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.

I work with individuals who find themselves over-functioning or over-accommodating in relationships.
This often includes difficulty saying no, feeling responsible for others, or prioritizing others’ needs over your own.
Together, we focus on developing boundaries, clarifying needs, and building more balanced, authentic relationships.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
So many of my clients, no matter what issue they initially come in for, have issues related to setting boundaries, communicating with their partners, and consent. I find that before doing any other work with them, I must teach them about consent, setting boundaries, and understanding relationship dynamics. In my sexuality training, I had to learn Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent, which has become the gold standard worldwide for teaching about consent. Certainly, for clients I work with around sexual issues of relationship issues, teaching the Wheel of Consent is the first step. Understanding relationship dynamics for the first time in their lives puts many clients' problems into a new perspective and often resolves their issues without having to do any other work, though we usually do just to clear any residue of past hurts and anger. We often do hypnosis focused on strengthening boundaries and building internal resources so they go forward in a stronger more positive way.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Codependency is another specialty of mine in being a people pleaser. If you are looking to find someone to complete you, you probably have codependent qualities. Codependent people find their self esteem through helping others often at ones own expense. Codependency is all about looking outside ourselves for answers/happiness instead of inward. Happiness and all of our answers to our questions lie within if we can become still enough to listen to our intuition. Successful relationships are more interdependent where we both have our lives, interests, friends, family, etc. and intersect with our partners when we are doing something together. Many of my clients have gone to Codependents Anonymous, ACOA, Alanon, etc. These are safe spaces to explore more interdependent and independent ways of being and share our experiences without being judged. There are many great books on codependency. I teach people how to become your own person not needing approval from others and celebrating your interdependence with one another when in relationship.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
It is not easy doing things "alone" and feels "safer" having someone to depend on, at times the dependency is cathartic but most times it is the cause of many of your issues. With use of CBT, REBT, Socratic questioning and rational optimism we can work together to manage it

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.
