Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help clients untangle patterns of codependency by slowing down, getting curious, and reconnecting with their own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom. Together, we explore the stories and survival strategies that once kept you safe but now keep you stuck, making space for more choice, agency, and self‑trust. My approach is warm, relational, and steady—supporting you as you practice new ways of relating that feel authentic, mutual, and sustainable.

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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
I consider codependence is very simple terms as the behavior of taking care of someone at one's own expense. Many of us learn are value is in how muuch we will give to others which tends to mean abandoning ourselves. If you find yourself over-giving, caretaking, or losing yourself in relationships, we’ll gently uncover the roots of those patterns and build stronger boundaries, self-trust, and more balanced intimacy. The cure for codependency can be more self awareness and the ability to identify one's emotions and needs which I love to support folks on.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for people who find themselves chronically over-functioning, caretaking, people-pleasing, shape-shifting, minimizing their own needs, anticipating the needs of others, or feeling responsible for the emotions, wellbeing, comfort, or stability of those around them. These patterns often develop as intelligent adaptations within family systems, trauma, cultural expectations, caregiving roles, marginalization, neurodivergence, or environments where safety, belonging, acceptance, or survival depended upon attunement to others.
This work explores the protective and prescribed roles these patterns may have played throughout your life and the ways they may have shaped identity, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, decision-making, and connection to your own needs, desires, emotions, and body. Particular attention is given to the influence of family dynamics, culture, gender socialization, attachment experiences, systemic oppression, internalized beliefs, and the messages you may have received about responsibility, worthiness, sacrifice, and care.
These patterns often live not only in thoughts and beliefs, but within the nervous system itself. They may show up as hypervigilance, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty asking for help, guilt when resting, discomfort receiving care, difficulty identifying needs, over-explaining, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that your value comes from what you do for others rather than who you are.
Through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and nervous-system-centered lens, space is created for greater self-trust, authenticity, reciprocity, discernment, and connection to your own inner experience. The goal is not to stop caring for others, but to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and with relationships where care can flow in multiple directions and where your needs, humanity, and wellbeing are nurtured by the same compassion and attention you so readily offer to everyone else.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My amazing therapist once told me that codependency is giving away the care you most long for in the hope that the person receiving it will reciprocate. We learn this strategy of connecting to others when being direct about our own needs made others feel burdened or annoyed or if they became a little more available if we took care of them in some way. Understanding this is the first step in healing. In therapy, we go deeper, really listening to what you most need and long for to feel nurtured and supported. We explore ways you can nurture yourself. And then, as you feel ready, we look at safe ways to be more direct in telling others what you need. This work isn't easy. It can feel risky to be honest about your real feelings and needs. It can feel scary to set boundaries when you don't have the energy or desire to care for others. But the freedom that comes with letting go of this old pattern feels so good. It lets you find the people who can engage in mutual relationships. More than that, it builds a deep sense of trust in yourself, knowing that you will always treat yourself with respect and care - because you matter to the one person who will always be with you - yourself.
