Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
Codependency often involves placing the needs of others above one's own, leading to feelings of resentment, neglect, and a loss of personal identity. Through compassionate counseling, counselors at Pathways To Connection guide you in building healthier boundaries, fostering self-worth, and learning to navigate relationships with greater balance and emotional independence. By exploring the underlying causes of codependency and offering practical tools for change, we support individuals in developing a stronger sense of self and creating more fulfilling, respectful connections with others.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Codependency can feel like you’re constantly managing other people’s emotions, needs, and reactions—while your own get pushed aside. You may feel guilty when you say no, anxious when someone is upset with you, or responsible for making sure everyone around you is okay. Maybe you find yourself over-explaining, avoiding conflict, or bending over backward to keep the peace. Deep down, you might wonder, “Who am I if I’m not needed?” or “Why do I always end up in one-sided relationships?” These patterns didn’t appear out of nowhere—they were learned in childhood, often in environments where love, approval, or safety felt tied to how well you could care for others. When you were young, putting others first may have been necessary for survival—but now, it’s keeping you stuck in exhaustion, resentment, and self-doubt.
But you don’t have to keep living this way. Healing from codependency isn’t about becoming selfish—it’s about learning that your needs, emotions, and boundaries matter just as much as everyone else’s. Using Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients heal the childhood wounds that created these patterns, so they can stop seeking self-worth through overgiving and start building relationships based on mutual respect and emotional balance. Therapy helps you stop feeling responsible for other people’s happiness, set boundaries without guilt, and finally put yourself on your own priority list. You don’t have to prove your worth by constantly doing for others—you are already enough, just as you are.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Codependency and addiction are closely linked, as codependent behaviors often arise in relationships where addiction is present. Whether the addiction involves substances, behaviors, or other compulsions, codependency can perpetuate unhealthy cycles, enabling the addict while compromising the emotional well-being of the codependent individual.
The Role of Professional Help:
Therapy: Individual or couples therapy can address the root causes of codependency and addiction, promoting healthier interactions.
Family Systems Work: Addiction and codependency often stem from family dynamics, making family therapy a valuable tool.
Education: Understanding addiction as a disease and codependency as a learned behavior can foster empathy and promote healthier choices.

Urim Recovery, LLC
Therapist, Certified Trauma Therapist, LCSW
Whether its help learning to love yourself when no one is there, knowing that you are enough or saying no when your gut says no, I will help you explore what your codependency means to you and how to be close to those you care about without losing yourself. Truth be told, there are varying characterizations of codependency. I don't believe you should let a label rob you of your desire to connect with another and express your being this way. The key is to determine whether the way you attach is depleting you and robbing you of your authentic self. Let me guide you through practical strategies to help you set boundaries and promote self-care and compassion.
