Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Patterns of codependency develop for complex reasons (e.g. personality traits, childhood environments) and require a thorough multimodal approach to treatment. Codependency develops as a unconscious and valid protective response to relational dynamics. Overtime you may have started to recognize the harmful effects this tendency, that likely protected you during childhood, is having on you and your current relationships. Together we can explore the unconscious patterning that has led to this and work to implement healthy boundaries and behaviors. While doing this, we will hold space for the inevitable emotions that arise when setting new patterns into place. Overtime, my hope is that you will be able to integrate your compassion for others into an empowered self, meeting your own needs as well as others.

Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Codependency patterns can leave you feeling overly responsible for others, struggling to set boundaries, or disconnected from your own needs and identity. You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your well-being, feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship dynamics, or having difficulty saying no without guilt.
Avery provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you explore these patterns and understand where they come from. Together, you’ll work on building healthier boundaries, strengthening self-worth, and reconnecting with your own needs, values, and sense of identity. The goal is to help you create more balanced, fulfilling relationships where you can show up for others without losing yourself in the process.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
How did I get here? In some ways, it feels like I just woke up one day to find out I was taking care of everyone around me; it also feels true that I've always been taking care of others and that I've always needed others to take care of me.
Welcome, I have training in both trauma and relationships so I love to help folks unravel the puzzle of codependency versus interdependency. It's not unhealthy to need people, that's part of being a person! But where does it go too far? How can you tell, how can you set boundaries to make sure? I'm happy to work with you to help you build these skills and more as we're working on examining this pattern in your life!

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Codependency is an emotional condition that causes one to ignore their own needs while constantly meeting the needs of others. A sufferer may compromise their own wellbeing to help someone else. Codependents often enter relationships with individuals who are irresponsible, emotionally detached or excessively needy. Codependent relationships are imbalanced and a person with codependency often tries to save others from themselves. I will partner with you to create more balanced relationships and empower you to create the changes you desire.

Codependency usually back into our attachment style. I use Attachment Theory to help clients learn and identify their attachment style, process relationships either past and/or current, and heal the wounds related to where the attachment started. Look at trauma, beliefs, sense of self, and more.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency can feel like being trapped in over-responsibility for others while neglecting yourself. Using IFS, attachment-focused work. I help clients understand the parts of them driving these patterns and build healthier boundaries. Narrative and experiential therapies further support reclaiming self-worth and agency. I also offer diagnostic clarity when codependent patterns overlap with trauma, depression, or personality features.

Blair Thurston
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC, NCC
I specialize in helping people strengthen their sense of self-worth, develop their identity, learn to set boundaries, and increase their capacity to tolerate uncomfortable emotions. Through this process you will learn who you are (independent of your relationship) and learn how to be ok, even if your loved one isn't ok.

Dr. Stacie McPherson
Psychologist, M.A., Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Codependency shows up as difficulty setting boundaries, chronic people-pleasing, or a tendency to prioritize others' needs at the expense of your own. I help clients understand the roots of these patterns and develop a stronger sense of self within their relationships. Using relational therapy and somatic techniques, we'll work on building boundaries that feel sustainable and reconnecting with your own needs and values.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who have learned to orient themselves around other people’s needs, emotions, or expectations at the expense of their own. This can look like being the reliable one, the steady one, the person others turn to, while privately feeling depleted, unseen, or unsure where your own preferences begin. Many people I see have spent years managing relationships, smoothing conflict, or carrying more than their share because it felt safer than disappointing someone or risking disconnection.
Codependent patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay attuned to others to keep the peace, where your worth was tied to being helpful or accommodating, or where expressing your own needs led to tension, withdrawal, or criticism. Over time, this can make it hard to trust your internal signals, set boundaries without guilt, or believe that your needs matter as much as anyone else’s.
In our work together, we look at how these patterns formed, what they have protected you from, and how they show up in your relationships today. We make space for the part of you that learned to stay small, agreeable, or over responsible in order to feel safe, and for the part of you that is tired of doing so much emotional labor. From there, we explore what it means to move through relationships with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice, without abandoning the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep things stable. Supporting people who have organized themselves around others for a long time is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you have carried.

Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
