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.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services for codependency are designed to address and heal the patterns of behavior that lead individuals to form or maintain one-sided, emotionally destructive, and often abusive relationships. Understanding that codependency stems from deep-seated needs and often begins in one's family of origin, we provide a supportive environment that promotes self-awareness, independence, and healthier relational dynamics.
Empowering Self-Sufficiency and Healthier Relationships
* Identifying Patterns: We help clients identify patterns of codependent behavior and understand the underlying psychological factors that contribute to these patterns, such as low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or an excessive need for approval.
* Establishing Boundaries: A key focus of counseling is teaching clients how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships. This includes learning to say no, recognizing one's own needs and desires, and understanding the distinction between helping and enabling.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is utilized to challenge and change unhelpful beliefs and behaviors that perpetuate codependency, fostering a healthier, more autonomous sense of self.
* Building Self-Esteem: Counseling sessions are geared toward boosting self-esteem and self-worth, empowering clients to feel confident in standing alone and valuing their own well-being as much as they value the well-being of others.
* Encouraging Interdependence: We focus on transitioning from codependency to interdependence, where healthy, mutual give-and-take relationships are the norm.
Goals of Counseling for Codependency
Our therapy for codependency aims to:
* Promote Self-Reliance: Encourage a stronger, more independent self-identity separate from one’s relationships.
* Healthy Relationship Dynamics: Facilitate the development of relationships characterized by mutual respect, balance, and emotional honesty.
* Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Equip clients with skills to manage their emotions effectively, reducing the tendency to use relationships as a way to soothe or suppress these feelings.
* Increased Awareness: Heighten self-awareness regarding the origins and triggers of codependent behaviors, enabling proactive changes.
* Lifestyle Adjustments: Support clients in making practical changes to their lifestyles that reinforce healthy interpersonal behaviors and thought patterns.
Codependency can overshadow your sense of self and disrupt your ability to maintain balanced, fulfilling relationships. With our support, you can uncover the roots of your codependent behaviors, develop a healthier approach to relationships, and embrace a more self-directed life. Reach out today to start your journey toward lasting change and relational health.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my practice, I integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients with codependency develop mindfulness skills and cultivate self-compassion while committing to actions that align with their values and autonomy.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency is a circular pattern that emerge in relationships when one person needs another person to need them in order to keep the relationship going. This is an unhealthy pattern and often leads to unhappiness and toxic patterns in relationships. I approach these relationships from a place of empathy and concern for all parties involved. It is my goal to illuminate these patterns and teach individuals to set healthy boundaries that will allow them to break free of codependent relationships and live healthier and happier lives with friends and family.

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.

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!
