Codependency
Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Codependency often develops as a survival strategy but can limit authentic connection and self-fulfillment. I help clients recognize and shift unhealthy relationship patterns, establish boundaries, and reconnect with their own needs and identity—supporting healthy interdependence while honoring personal values and well-being.

Codependency
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is about relationships and how others can affect us in unhealthy ways. This can often look like being consumed by worries for how others are doing (family, friends, colleagues, etc.), people-pleasing, not expressing our own thoughts/feelings, and/or losing our sense of self. Our identity can be dependent on trying to “fix” other people’s problems and not focusing on our own. This may also be due to not recognizing our own emotions and/or problems. Therapy can help you improve the relationship you have with yourself and others.

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.

Codependency
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Many of my clients find themselves in codependent relationships as a result of their lifelong attachment styles. Together we will look at these patterns and I will support you in gently shifting these patterns away from codependence towards effective interdependence. It is not about learning to be totally self-reliant either—it is more about having a secure attachment within yourself as a primary source of stability, and then reaching out for connection with others from a whole/healthy place. We are social creatures and we need one another, but we feel better when we can relate with others from a place of sturdiness as much as possible too. From that place, we can ask for our needs to be met and connection to be fulfilled, knowing deeply that we have the right to ask and deserve to be attuned to and met by those closest to us. And we can also learn to self-soothe in the moments that that is not available or possible with our loved ones.

Online in Santa Maria, CA
Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
