Dr. Natassia Johnson
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC
Relationships matter, but overly relying on relationships to make you feel whole and complete is an issue. It's important to balance the worth you generate from self and the worth you generate from loved ones around you.

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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAP, ICAADC
Codependency can be a normal reaction to dealing with a loved one with substance use disorder. It can also affect multiple relationships apart from addiction and can sometimes be engrained due to upbringing and other factors. I am aware of resources available to help address codependency issues as well such as literature and community programs. Often times, if we feel a lack of control, it is a way to engage but will be destructive to you and your relationships in the long run.

Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D., LLC.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Codependency is a popular term these days. It can be subtle or much more overt. Frequently seen with other problematic relationship problems, substance abuse, depression and anxiety. Many times this is seen passed through families. We are not sure if it is a nature or nurture thing. Therapy can be a helpful part of the puzzle. Treatment tends to take longer with this stuff.

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.

Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
I get asked a lot about codependency. It's a tricky concept and behavior pattern that is so easy to fall into particularly if we have had substance abuse or really any type of abuse in our relationship history. It's about seeking to control without knowing that's what we're doing. We will work on making choices that are consistent with your values so that you end up in meaningful relationships in which you be around the people in your life without compromising yourself.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCP, LCPC
I have been trained in trauma-related issues, codependency, pro-dependency and how past trauma can play a role in our current relationships. I can help decipher between reactions that may be responses to the trauma or betrayal that you may have experience from what may be otherwise labeled as co-dependency in other approaches.

Codependency is often closely associated with trauma, loss, or dysfunctional family systems. Because we specialize in trauma, we naturally are working quite often with codependency.
