Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Codependency often looks like taking care of everyone else while abandoning your own needs. Together, we untangle old survival patterns, people‑pleasing, over‑functioning, struggling to say no! and practice boundaries, self‑trust, and more mutual, sustainable relationships.

Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
If you are a heart-centred, empathic woman, you might have challenges setting healthy boundaries with people and could be stuck in fawning, pleasing, and appeasing patterns to feel safe and connected. I can support you in defining your values and setting either flexible or non-negotiable boundaries, depending on the circumstances. I can help you move through self-doubt and into your authentic self-expression. The therapy that I offer is in-depth and often involves going back to the inner child, where your inner defense patterns and relationship patterns began, to initiate deep emotional healing and safety.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
How did I get here? In some ways, it feels like I just woke up one day to find out I was taking care of everyone around me; it also feels true that I've always been taking care of others and that I've always needed others to take care of me.
Welcome, I have training in both trauma and relationships so I love to help folks unravel the puzzle of codependency versus interdependency. It's not unhealthy to need people, that's part of being a person! But where does it go too far? How can you tell, how can you set boundaries to make sure? I'm happy to work with you to help you build these skills and more as we're working on examining this pattern in your life!

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.

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
So many of us have been socialized to center other people's emotions at the expense of our own needs. We do this without thought, without understanding the consequences to ourselves because for so long, it has just felt like What We Are Supposed To Do. But it doesn't have to be like this. You are the main character in your life after all! As such, your responsibilities are simple: (1) be clear, and (2) be kind. You are not responsible for how others respond to your boundaries, but you ARE responsible for communicating them (hard!) and for holding them (harder!). Together, we can work on helping you to start noticing these patterns as they play out, experimenting with different ways of relating, and building healthier boundaries that allow you to care for both yourself and your loved ones more wholeheartedly.
