Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Codependency is often talked about in oversimplified ways—but for many people, it’s rooted in relationships where your needs had to come second, where you learned to anticipate others, keep the peace, or stay connected at your own expense. What looks like “people-pleasing” on the surface is often a deeply ingrained pattern shaped by family dynamics, culture, and survival. In some communities, being self-sacrificing or overly responsible isn’t just normalized—it’s expected. Over time, it can become hard to tell where you end and someone else begins.
At Nour Counseling, we work with you to untangle these patterns in a way that is both honest and compassionate. We help you recognize how codependency shows up in your relationships—difficulty setting boundaries, overextending yourself, feeling responsible for others’ emotions—and actively build new ways of relating. This includes developing boundaries that feel doable, reconnecting with your own needs and preferences, and tolerating the discomfort that can come with change. We also explore the cultural and relational context that shaped these patterns, so you’re not just blaming yourself for something that had a reason. This is about helping you move toward relationships that feel more mutual, more clear, and more grounded in who you are.

Co-Dependency: From Self-Sacrifice to Self-Sovereignty
Untangling Your Identity from the Needs of Others
Co-dependency is often the "noble" struggle. It is the exhaustion that comes from being the primary emotional caretaker, the peacekeeper, and the one who anticipates everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own. In my practice, we view co-dependent patterns as deeply ingrained attachment strategies—behaviors that were likely necessary for safety in the past but are now leading to burnout, resentment, and a loss of self.
Recognizing the Systemic Loop
Co-dependency doesn't happen in a vacuum; it is a relational "dance" that we explore through a systemic lens:
The Caretaker’s Burnout: Addressing the physical and emotional collapse that occurs when your "worth" is tied to your "usefulness."
Fear of Disconnection: Understanding the roots of the anxiety that arises when you try to set a boundary or say "no."
Emotional Enmeshment: Moving from a state where you "feel" the emotions of others more intensely than your own, toward a healthy, defined sense of self.
The Path to Relational Freedom
Using over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Attachment Theory and Systems Theory, I help you navigate the transition from enmeshment to autonomy:
Attachment Repair: We look at the "why" behind the "need to be needed," using EFT to help you develop a secure attachment to yourself first.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We get curious about the "Protector" parts of you that believe you must be "perfect" or "helpful" to be loved.
Somatic Boundary Work: We learn to listen to the body’s signals of overwhelm and resentment, using them as a compass for where a boundary needs to be drawn.
Reclaiming Your Narrative
Whether you are navigating a relationship with a partner, a parent, or a child, the goal is not to stop caring—it is to care from a place of choice rather than a place of fear. Together, we work to build a life where you are no longer a "supporting character" in someone else’s story, but the conscious author of your own.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might be the one everyone leans on—always available, endlessly supportive, and quick to smooth things over. But underneath that strength, there’s a quiet exhaustion. Maybe you’ve spent so long tending to others that you’ve lost touch with your own voice. You may struggle to set boundaries, prioritize your own needs, or feel okay when someone else is upset. Maybe you define your worth through how much you give or help, but deep down, you’re craving space to just be… without performing, fixing, or proving.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients untangle patterns of codependency that often start early—growing up in families where your worth was tied to being helpful, agreeable, or emotionally attuned to others. These patterns can show up in adult life in all kinds of relationships: romantic partnerships, friendships, caregiving roles, family systems, and even the workplace, where over-functioning often gets mistaken for excellence. You might find yourself constantly people-pleasing, second-guessing your instincts, or feeling panicked at the thought of being left behind. They can be especially layered for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks who’ve had to mask parts of themselves to stay safe, loved, or accepted.
We’ll explore how these ways of relating helped you survive—and how they might be keeping you stuck now. Together, we’ll work on building boundaries that feel empowering (not selfish), tuning into your own needs and desires, and letting go of the belief that your value comes from how much you give. We’ll also look at how systemic pressures may have reinforced these patterns over time. Our work might include unlearning perfectionism, quieting the inner critic, and cultivating self-trust that isn’t tied to how much you do for others.
With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space to reconnect with your own voice and needs. You don’t have to keep disappearing in your relationships. Whether we’re working one-on-one or navigating these dynamics in couples therapy, you’ll have a space to explore what healthier, more mutual connection can look like. If you're ready to show up more fully for yourself and build connections that don’t come at the cost of your own well-being, I’d be honored to journey alongside you.

Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
Codependency represents a lack of self-esteem, so I'll work with you to change how you think about yourself. CBT can be very helpful in getting you to eliminate thought patterns that hurt you and make you judge yourself negatively. Once you start to trust yourself a bit, counseling will focus on gently stretching yourself so that you discover your capacities and boundaries.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address codependency by combining psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healthier relational dynamics. Recognizing the often complex and intertwined nature of codependent relationships, I incorporate biblical teachings on boundaries, self-worth, and dependence on God. Through therapeutic interventions, clients are encouraged to explore and understand the patterns of codependency, identifying unhealthy behaviors and fostering self-awareness. I integrate prayer and scriptural reflection to help clients find strength in their faith, emphasizing the importance of relying on God rather than solely on others for validation and fulfillment. Christian counseling for codependency often involves promoting a balanced understanding of love, emphasizing the significance of self-care, and encouraging clients to cultivate a deeper connection with their spiritual identity. By integrating Christian values, the counselor supports individuals in breaking free from codependent patterns and building relationships rooted in healthy interdependence and trust in God.

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.
