Codependency
California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it is easy to lose yourself in the effort to help them. You may find yourself managing their crises, making excuses for their behavior, or putting your own needs so far aside that you can no longer remember what they were. Codependency is not a character flaw. It is a learned pattern and it can change. We work with partners, parents, and family members to help them set healthier boundaries, rebuild their own sense of self, and find more effective ways to support their loved one without sacrificing their own wellbeing in the process.

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.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
When a family member struggles with addiction, mental illness, cognitive deficits or developmental differences, it’s normal to want to help. Codependency arises when we try to control the situation or the other person through care-taking. This happens a lot when the other person has impulse control or anger problems. We learn to overfunction and become hyper-responsible to compensate and make life a little more stable. Together we can look at new ways to find stability and ease so you don’t have to continue placating and people-pleasing. We can explore the boundaries that would give you true control - not trying to change the other person or get them to understand, but to decide what you will and won’t do, and then staying true to yourself.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people have co-dependency issues and do not know it. It is very prevalent in our culture. I assist clients in sorting out their needs vs. the needs of others and recognizing and investigating in themselves when they are feeling resentful of others, and what areas of their lives they are experiencing codependency the most and taking new action steps.

Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Struggling with codependency can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, and unsure of your own needs or boundaries. You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your well-being, feeling responsible for fixing or rescuing those around you, or experiencing guilt when you try to put yourself first. As a licensed psychologist with expertise in trauma, addiction, and mood disorders, I understand how codependent patterns often develop as a way to cope with past experiences and relational wounds. In therapy, we work together to uncover these underlying dynamics, build self-awareness, and strengthen your sense of identity and self-worth.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help clients develop healthier boundaries, improve communication, and learn how to engage in relationships from a place of balance rather than obligation or fear. Whether codependency is connected to past trauma, substance use, or ongoing anxiety or depression, our work will focus on helping you create more fulfilling, stable, and authentic connections, starting with the relationship you have with yourself.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Putting the emotional and physical needs of another before yourself, or at the cost of your own wellbeing and sanity is an important pattern to become aware of. It takes time to cultivate insight into core beliefs of self and how enabling behaviors can lead to resentment and/or more suffering. I will guide you through a process to identify your 'no's' and 'yes's' as well as your boundaries and needs.

Many of us developed the tool of codependency to cope with relationships in difficult environments. We are now in safer environments and don't need to resort to old behaviors. My goal is to help empower codependent individuals to cultivate healthy behaviors and ultimately healthier relationships.

Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When relationships become organized around keeping the peace, managing another person’s emotions, or losing yourself in the needs of others, it can be difficult to know what healthy connection should look like. I help clients in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and throughout Florida develop clearer boundaries while staying connected to the people they care about. The goal is not greater distance, but relationships that allow room for two whole people.
