Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Feel like you are stuffing your needs and exhausted in relationships? Maybe you are in a relationship where there's no room for you, but you don't know how to change it. We learn from an early age to take care of others when our needs are not being met. It's a pattern that often goes unnoticed or ignored when we choose partners who bring up the patterns from the past. If this feels familiar, you've come to the right place. I offer a safe space to explore how codependency shows up in your life and relationships and find a better way.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Codependent patterns often develop as adaptations to earlier relationships and environments where love, approval, or emotional safety felt uncertain. You may find yourself prioritizing others' needs, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for other people's emotions, or losing touch with your own needs. I help you understand the origins of these patterns, build healthier boundaries, strengthen your sense of self, and create relationships that feel more balanced, secure, and fulfilling.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in codependent patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected from themselves or each other. Codependency can show up as difficulty setting boundaries, prioritizing others at the expense of your own needs, fear of conflict or abandonment, or feeling responsible for a partner’s emotions or behavior. Over time, these patterns can strain relationships and erode trust and intimacy.
In therapy, we work to identify how these patterns developed and how they continue to affect communication and emotional balance in your relationship. I help couples learn healthier ways to express needs, tolerate discomfort, and support one another without losing a sense of self. This often includes developing clearer boundaries, improving emotional regulation, and building more balanced and mutual connection.
The goal is not to create distance, but to strengthen relationships by helping each person feel more grounded, autonomous, and secure. As these changes take shape, many couples find that conflict becomes more manageable and intimacy feels more genuine and sustainable.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it is easy to lose yourself in the effort to help them. You may find yourself managing their crises, making excuses for their behavior, or putting your own needs so far aside that you can no longer remember what they were. Codependency is not a character flaw. It is a learned pattern and it can change. We work with partners, parents, and family members to help them set healthier boundaries, rebuild their own sense of self, and find more effective ways to support their loved one without sacrificing their own wellbeing in the process.
