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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Codependency often reflects early relational patterns in which emotional needs, boundaries, and self-worth became entangled with the needs of others. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to understand how these patterns continue to shape adult relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional autonomy, clarity, and the capacity to remain connected to oneself while being close to others.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might be the one everyone leans on—always available, endlessly supportive, and quick to smooth things over. But underneath that strength, there’s a quiet exhaustion. Maybe you’ve spent so long tending to others that you’ve lost touch with your own voice. You may struggle to set boundaries, prioritize your own needs, or feel okay when someone else is upset. Maybe you define your worth through how much you give or help, but deep down, you’re craving space to just be… without performing, fixing, or proving.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients untangle patterns of codependency that often start early—growing up in families where your worth was tied to being helpful, agreeable, or emotionally attuned to others. These patterns can show up in adult life in all kinds of relationships: romantic partnerships, friendships, caregiving roles, family systems, and even the workplace, where over-functioning often gets mistaken for excellence. You might find yourself constantly people-pleasing, second-guessing your instincts, or feeling panicked at the thought of being left behind. They can be especially layered for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks who’ve had to mask parts of themselves to stay safe, loved, or accepted.
We’ll explore how these ways of relating helped you survive—and how they might be keeping you stuck now. Together, we’ll work on building boundaries that feel empowering (not selfish), tuning into your own needs and desires, and letting go of the belief that your value comes from how much you give. We’ll also look at how systemic pressures may have reinforced these patterns over time. Our work might include unlearning perfectionism, quieting the inner critic, and cultivating self-trust that isn’t tied to how much you do for others.
With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space to reconnect with your own voice and needs. You don’t have to keep disappearing in your relationships. Whether we’re working one-on-one or navigating these dynamics in couples therapy, you’ll have a space to explore what healthier, more mutual connection can look like. If you're ready to show up more fully for yourself and build connections that don’t come at the cost of your own well-being, I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
I help individuals break free from codependent patterns by fostering healthy boundaries, self-worth, and emotional independence. Using a blend of relational therapy, attachment-focused work, and psychoeducation, I support clients in understanding the roots of their codependency—often tied to early family dynamics or trauma—and guide them toward more balanced, fulfilling relationships. My goal is to help you reconnect with your own needs, values, and voice in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

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.
