Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Patterns of overgiving, difficulty setting boundaries, or losing a sense of self in relationships often develop over time and can feel hard to change. I help individuals understand these patterns at a deeper level—where they come from and how they continue to play out. Through this work, clients begin to develop clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness, and more balanced, fulfilling relationships.

Jesse R Cardin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW
When your sense of self becomes tied to meeting the needs or expectations of others, it can be difficult to know who you are apart from your relationships. Therapy can help you develop healthier boundaries, deeper self-trust, and a more authentic way of relating.

The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
Getting to the root of codependency by exploring the feelings that arise that trigger behaviors of emotionally dependency on others and learning to work with those feelings by first noticing them and then patiently and mindfully applying skills to help us recognize our codependent patterns can begin to break those patterns.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
People-pleasing, conflict avoidance, difficulty setting boundaries, caretaking at the expense of oneself, and intense anxiety in relationships can often be signs of codependency. Many people don't feel like they can be okay unless everyone they love is okay. This can appear of loving but often feels exhausting. I work with clients to help them understand where their codependent behaviors originated and how they currently impact their life so that client's can process unconscious fears and become more independent, confident, and healthier in relationships.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Codependency often develops so gradually that most people don't recognize it until they are completely exhausted — emotionally drained by relationships that consistently prioritize everyone else's needs over their own. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and break codependent relationship patterns, rebuild healthy boundaries, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to untangle the deep-rooted beliefs driving codependent behavior and build genuinely healthier relationships. Telehealth therapy for codependency available across 40+ states.

Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Codependency often begins as something that once made a lot of sense. You learned to pay close attention to other people's feelings, keep the peace, take care of others, or put your own needs aside in order to preserve an important relationship. The problem is that these patterns can follow us into adulthood long after they're needed.
In codependency therapy, we look beyond simply teaching better boundaries. We work to understand why saying no feels so difficult, why someone else's disappointment can feel unbearable, or why you repeatedly find yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, rescuing, or losing yourself in relationships.
My approach is psychodynamic and attachment-focused, helping you understand where these relationship patterns came from and giving you the opportunity to experience relationships differently. The goal isn't to become completely independent or stop needing other people. Healthy relationships involve dependency. The goal is to be able to love, care for, and connect deeply with another person without abandoning yourself in the process.
