Codependency
Dr. Nilgun Turkcan Ataoglu, BCT, RDT
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed & Registered Creative Arts Therapist
Codependency can gradually lead us to lose sight of ourselves—our needs, boundaries, feelings, and even our sense of identity—as we become increasingly focused on caring for, pleasing, or gaining approval from others.
In therapy, we explore the emotional and relational patterns behind these dynamics, including early experiences that may have taught you to prioritize connection at the expense of yourself.
My approach is compassionate and result-oriented, helping you develop healthier boundaries, recognize your own needs and choices, and build relationships in which connection does not require losing yourself.

Codependency (& Identity Challenges)
Life transitions—such as relocation, divorce, or retirement—can prompt deep questions of identity and self-worth. In therapy, we explore the parts of self that emerge during these moments, often shaped by relational or gendered dynamics, to foster clarity, resilience, and healthier boundaries.

Codependency
Esra Nihan Bridge
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Codependent behaviors often stem from childhood trauma, especially in dysfunctional families with neglected emotional needs or constant management of a loved one’s addiction or mental illness. Together, we’ll process this trauma, build healthy relationship skills, and reconnect with your authentic self.
