Codependency
Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency often involves losing yourself in relationships, putting others’ needs above your own, struggling with boundaries, or tying your self-worth to how others feel. I help individuals recognize these patterns, rebuild a strong sense of self, and develop healthier, more balanced relationships. Together, we’ll work to create emotional independence, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of confidence and self-respect.

Codependency
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who have learned to orient themselves around other people’s needs, emotions, or expectations at the expense of their own. This can look like being the reliable one, the steady one, the person others turn to, while privately feeling depleted, unseen, or unsure where your own preferences begin. Many people I see have spent years managing relationships, smoothing conflict, or carrying more than their share because it felt safer than disappointing someone or risking disconnection.
Codependent patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay attuned to others to keep the peace, where your worth was tied to being helpful or accommodating, or where expressing your own needs led to tension, withdrawal, or criticism. Over time, this can make it hard to trust your internal signals, set boundaries without guilt, or believe that your needs matter as much as anyone else’s.
In our work together, we look at how these patterns formed, what they have protected you from, and how they show up in your relationships today. We make space for the part of you that learned to stay small, agreeable, or over responsible in order to feel safe, and for the part of you that is tired of doing so much emotional labor. From there, we explore what it means to move through relationships with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice, without abandoning the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep things stable. Supporting people who have organized themselves around others for a long time is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you have carried.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We often use hypnotherapy and other related frameworks to explore the emotions, beliefs, and relationships related to the codependency/attachment style. This often centers around themes of self-worth, abandonment, neglect and betrayal and the childhood regression is a real cataltyst to faciliate healing for codependency issues. We get back in touch with the root cause and give that inner child a chance to finally authentically express the words and emotions long held back. And with it, is a release of energy blocks and the path to peace is revealed. With new clarity and wisdom, you will move forward without the need to continue attaching yourself to unhealthy relationships that mirror what happened to you in childhood, because we have closed the loop and released what needed to go. That is where the shift comes and we continue installing the new hardare in that will hardwire your mind to bring in only what is the new, evolved emotional frequency and match, of an unconditional love of self first and then a match to someone who is on the same level as you.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Relationships can develop circular patterns of mutual hostility and dependency that keep both parties frustrated and emotionally impoverished for a long time. I try to understand the emotional patterns that each partner originally brought to the situation, penetrate those patterns with empathy and understanding, and support each person's wish to be freer and stronger and happier.
