Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Co-dependency is a very common pattern for people but can become quite debilitating over time. It leads us to destructive relationships and life patterns. Understanding how that impacts our lives and how to establish healthier patterns of living is extremely important.

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.

Often relationships feed upon each other, draining the other, enabling each other; which then becomes most dysfunctional. We work with our couples to learn how to co-exist and to nurture without the defense mechanisms and manipulations.

Hannah Allison
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I believe that the more you try to live up to others’ expectations, the farther you get from yourself. In my work with clients navigating codependency, I strive to create a supportive space where we can explore patterns of people-pleasing and enmeshment. Together, we'll focus on building self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, and reconnecting with your own needs and values. My goal is to help you cultivate healthier, more balanced relationships where you can show up authentically without losing yourself in the process.

Codependency often shows up as recurring relational patterns that can leave you feeling frustrated or trapped. When you notice these tendencies, it can feel like healthy, mutually satisfying relationships are impossible.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Codependency is not loving too much. It is having learned, very early, that your survival depended on monitoring someone else's emotional weather — that your needs were safest when they were invisible, even to you. The exhaustion of it is real. So is the terror of stopping. Therapy is not about learning to stop caring for others. It is about recovering the self that went underground in order to make all that caretaking possible.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
A fancy word for relationships and behaviors that are messy, confusing, and so hard to walk away from. After all, you love the person(s), despite the addiction/behaviors/dynamic. We all have some codependent behaviors. After all, we are human and wired to connect, but how do you know when you've 'crossed the line' and it is toxic? These are topics for us to explore.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
I use Somatic Experiencing to help you tune into your own wants and needs so you can start learning to have a clearer sense of your boundaries, as well as the strength to set them.
A lot of relationships are labeled as 'codependent', but sometimes it can be more accurate to say that it's become easier for you to guess at what your partner wants than it is to know what you want.
Once you get more connected to what you want, it can become easier to have those conversations with your partner, and easier to stand strong in your needs.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
Specializing in the treatment of family systems, I help individuals gain insight into how the dynamics between two people can trigger past relational traumas, leading to emotional responses that often distance the family unit. My approach emphasizes the distinction between reactions and actions, allowing you to understand not only how you respond emotionally but also how intentional actions can transform those dynamics. Together, we will explore your family of origin experiences to identify maladaptive relational patterns and create new pathways for connection and understanding. My goal is to facilitate healing and foster healthier communication, enabling each family member to feel heard and valued. Let’s work together to strengthen your relationships and build a more cohesive, supportive family system, embarking on a journey toward healing and lasting connection.

John P Rogers
Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
I work with highly motivated individuals, couples, and families who are ready to do something different about the patterns of codependency that have been shaping their relationships. If you’re feeling over-responsible for others, losing yourself in the process, or stuck in cycles of people-pleasing and resentment, now may be the time to step off that exhausting merry-go-round and move toward healthier connection and balance.
I can help you.
With your goals for therapy in mind, we will work together using interventions uniquely tailored to your relational patterns and personal history. You will gain practical tools and meaningful insight to: recognize codependent cycles more clearly, understand what drives and maintains them, learn where and how to set healthier boundaries, and establish a more secure, self-respecting, and fulfilling path forward—both within yourself and in your relationships.
