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.

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.

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.

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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency can feel like being trapped in over-responsibility for others while neglecting yourself. Using IFS, attachment-focused work. I help clients understand the parts of them driving these patterns and build healthier boundaries. Narrative and experiential therapies further support reclaiming self-worth and agency. I also offer diagnostic clarity when codependent patterns overlap with trauma, depression, or personality features.

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.

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.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
When you’re used to prioritizing everyone else’s needs, it can be difficult to know what you need or where your responsibilities end and someone else’s begin. Therapy can be a space to explore patterns of people-pleasing, over-functioning, difficulty setting boundaries, and losing yourself in relationships, while developing greater self-trust and autonomy.
