A little CODEPENDENCY is needed to help us care for one another. However, it hinders and prevents the self from having any healthy knowledge of the self. It develops from trauma of addiction!

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is an interpersonal relationship dynamic that is common for individuals with loved ones struggling with substance use. It can also at times present as a challenging relationship dynamic for adolescents as they are trying to separate from family of origin and gain full independence. In either case, I can help with healing from codependence, developing healthier boundaries, and communicating with loved ones about codependent tendencies.

Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
Many years ago I was in a very co-dependent marriage. That was a very painful period of my life. Co-dependent behaviors are often learned in families with alcoholism, addiction, dysfunctional families; families where feelings and needs are often not being communicated or met. If you are in a relationship or marriage where you don't feel seen or heard, where you feel small, not confident, where you don't feel you are being your real self, give yourself the gift of some counseling. Let me help you own your heart and voice. Let me help you find your confidence so you can live an authentic life and improve all your relationships. Your happiness matters! Sessions can be in-person in Boulder, Colorado, or by video from anywhere in the world. I am looking forward to supporting you.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.
