Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work from an attachment perspective with codependency, recognizing codependency as a style of relating often learned early in life, sometimes from within in the womb. We'll explore stories of connection: such as when you have felt most seen and heard, loved and cherished, as well as when you have felt yourself chameleon-ing to keep someone present in your life. We'll really look at what the cues are for when you feel safe to stay in the integrity of your Core Self vs. when you find yourself sacrificing what you really want to meet the needs of others, weighing them as more valuable than yourself. I'll reflect back to you when I see you excelling in moments of prioritizing yourself without disrespecting others, a beautiful balance of self- and other-love that allows for each person to be their own individual within the relationship.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore codependency issues. Likely you are experiencing pain that you want to end. I can help you gain freedom from the cycle of codependency.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Growing up in a less than nurturing environment can lead to all sorts of codependent traits: self esteem, self care, boundaries, controlling others, taking care of your adult needs, perfectionism, emotional flooding. I am well versed in the 12-step program of codependents anonymous and the issues that are helped through attending. I recommend the program, but it is not required to understand or heal the above issues.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Do you find it difficult to say no? Do you always put the needs of others ahead of your own? Do you feel selfish when you take care of yourself? While many people who answer yes to these questions have a generous heart, they can end up feeling used up and taken advantage of. Therapy can be a great place to learn to understand the importance of your own needs and how to meet them in a way that's self-nourishing, not selfish.

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.
