Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
As I have worked in a number of community settings where recovery or addiction was an issue; including the LGBTQ community, survivors of sexaul violence/abuse, and homeless acute psychiatric individuals; I have encountered numerous people struggling with the impact of addiction on their lives. In addition, I worked with clients from families with addiction, which often foster codependent tendencies. I help clients understand boundaries and how important they are in preserving mental health.

Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
For those that were trained to self-abandon, returning "home" and learning to derive self worth from more reliable (internal) sources is one of the most rewarding achievements.

Together with clients, we explore the stories they tell about their relationships and themselves, and through collaborative dialogue, clients identify and understand their own needs and values, fostering a stronger sense of self-worth. This process enables them to establish more fulfilling connections with those around them and with themselves.

Dr. Adrian Scharfetter
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CST-S
In my practice, I support individuals and couples in gently untangling the patterns of codependency that can quietly shape relationships. Codependency often shows up as over-functioning, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for someone else’s emotions at the cost of your own needs and boundaries. Together, we explore where these patterns originated, often rooted in early attachment wounds or family dynamics, and begin the work of restoring a more balanced, compassionate relationship with yourself and others.
Through a blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and relational work, we’ll identify the protective parts that may be working overtime to keep connection safe, even if it means self-abandonment. This process isn’t about blame, it’s about understanding, healing, and learning how to show up in your relationships with more clarity, choice, and authenticity. My goal is to help you build connections that are rooted in mutual respect, emotional safety, and genuine interdependence, rather than obligation or fear.

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.

Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
I support clients in exploring patterns of codependency with curiosity and compassion-not judgment. Often rooted in early attachment wounds, relational trauma, or experiences of caregiving and emotional neglect, codependent dynamics can leave us feeling over-responsible for others, disconnected from our own needs, and fearful of setting boundaries.
In our work together, I help you untangle these patterns and begin to reconnect with your sense of self. Using a relational, person-centered approach informed by feminist, narrative, and trauma-focused therapies, we’ll explore how care and connection can exist without self-abandonment.
You deserve relationships that are mutual, grounded, and nourishing. Therapy is a space to learn how to prioritize yourself, honor your boundaries, and build deeper, more authentic connections—with others and with yourself.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
I use Somatic Experiencing to help you tune into your own wants and needs so you can start learning to have a clearer sense of your boundaries, as well as the strength to set them.
A lot of relationships are labeled as 'codependent', but sometimes it can be more accurate to say that it's become easier for you to guess at what your partner wants than it is to know what you want.
Once you get more connected to what you want, it can become easier to have those conversations with your partner, and easier to stand strong in your needs.
