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.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Do you find yourself anticipating other people's needs, taking responsibility for their feelings, or struggling to say no, even when you feel resentful or depleted? You may have learned that being helpful, accommodating, or indispensable is how you maintain connection, avoid conflict, or feel valued. I help clients explore the patterns that make it difficult to prioritize themselves without guilt, fear of rejection, or a sense of selfishness. Our work focuses on building relationships in which you can care deeply for others without losing touch with your own needs, boundaries, and sense of self.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Codependent patterns often develop from a deep sensitivity to others and a strong desire to maintain connection. Over time, this can lead to prioritizing others’ needs while losing sight of your own boundaries or identity. Many women find themselves over-giving, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions. In our work together, we focus on understanding how these patterns formed, strengthening your sense of self, and building ways of relating that allow for connection without self-sacrifice.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Setting healthy boundaries is something many of us did not effectively learn in childhood, even in the most well meaning and loving of families. We have, instead, learned to live life to serve others and to prioritize the needs of others, even when doing so harms ourselves. My approach is to help my clients create healthy boundaries, advocate for the self, learn to communicate our needs clearly and directly, and then learn to act upon the needs we have outlined to those we love so we can cultivate healthy and mutually effective relationships. Cutting the ties of codependency is central to this process: staying in one's own lane, letting others solve their own problems, offering compassion and help when asked, letting go of the rescue fantasy, living without an emotional hangover, and learning to accept that there is much we cannot control.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is an interpersonal relationship dynamic that is common for individuals with loved ones struggling with substance use. It can also at times present as a challenging relationship dynamic for adolescents as they are trying to separate from family of origin and gain full independence. In either case, I can help with healing from codependence, developing healthier boundaries, and communicating with loved ones about codependent tendencies.

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.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Codependency often develops so gradually that most people don't recognize it until they are completely exhausted — emotionally drained by relationships that consistently prioritize everyone else's needs over their own. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and break codependent relationship patterns, rebuild healthy boundaries, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to untangle the deep-rooted beliefs driving codependent behavior and build genuinely healthier relationships. Telehealth therapy for codependency available across 40+ states.
