Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
If you notice that you tend toward people-pleasing, supporting others before yourself, experience variable levels of self-esteem based on what is happening in your life and what people say to you, and setting boundaries feels really, really hard...then it is possible that you want some support around ways of showing up that are not in your best interests.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Codependency often shows up as putting others' needs before your own, struggling with boundaries, and losing yourself in relationships. If you find yourself constantly trying to please others, feeling responsible for their emotions, or staying in unhealthy dynamics, you may be experiencing codependency. In our work together, I’ll help you recognize patterns of codependency, explore their origins, and develop healthier ways to relate to others. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your sense of self, establishing strong boundaries, and building fulfilling, balanced relationships. You deserve to love and care for yourself as much as you do for others.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When my identity becomes wrapped up in what my partner thinks about me, I find myself in the codependant position. It becomes hard for me or my partner to feel anything because our feelings are so triggering to each other. If we were both healthy my partner could have a bad day or a bad mood and I could be fine. But when I am codependent, I need my partner to be happy all the time because if they mad, sad, or bad, it means there is something wrong with me and now I am in an identity crisis. If you can relate to this, reach out to us, we can help you engage principles of relational intelligence in your life that will support your emotional stability and relational well being.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my therapeutic practice, I address codependency as a complex interplay of emotional dynamics that often stems from deep-seated needs for approval, validation, and love. This pattern of behavior, while initially developed as a survival strategy in response to challenging relational environments, can lead to a loss of self-identity, boundary issues, and an overarching sense of dissatisfaction in one's relationships and personal life. Recognizing codependency as a sign of the soul's longing for genuine connection and self-realization, I offer a compassionate space for individuals to explore and understand these patterns, fostering a journey towards healing and autonomy.
The focus of our work together is on unraveling the layers of codependency, identifying its roots in past experiences, and understanding its impact on current relationships and self-perception. By cultivating self-awareness and self-compassion, clients are guided towards reclaiming their independence, establishing healthier boundaries, and developing a stronger sense of self-worth. This transformative process not only improves relationships with others but also deepens the connection to oneself, enabling a life lived with more authenticity and fulfillment.
Emphasizing the importance of personal growth and empowerment, my approach seeks to empower individuals to break free from the cycles of codependency, leading to a life marked by healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and a profound sense of inner freedom. Together, we work to create a future where one can engage in relationships not out of neediness or fear, but from a place of strength, wholeness, and genuine love.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Codependency is much more than spending a lot of time with someone else. It is being tangled up together like 2 sets of stringed lights and when one tries to pull away to do something independently, the other feels threatened, upset, abandoned, or a variety of other experiences. These are often rooted in a childhood where healthy boundaries were not modeled.

If you find yourself over-giving, over-functioning, or losing yourself in relationships, you’re not alone. Codependency often develops as an adaptive way to stay connected and safe.
