Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Codependent relationships are often described as being marked by intimacy problems, dependency, control (including caretaking), denial, dysfunctional communication and boundaries, and high reactivity. There may be imbalance within the relationship, where one person is abusive or in control or supports or enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement.
Under this conception of codependency, the codependent person's sense of purpose within a relationship is based on making extreme sacrifices to satisfy their partner's needs. Codependent relationships signify a degree of unhealthy "clinginess" and needy behavior, where one person does not have self-sufficiency or autonomy. One or both parties depend on their loved one for fulfillment. The mood and emotions of the codependent are often determined by how they think other individuals perceive them (especially loved ones). This perception is self-inflicted and often leads to clingy, needy behavior which can hurt the health of the relationship.
Addressing codependency in one's life can be very freeing and is the key for many in establishing and defining a healthy relationship with self and others.

Co-dependency often manifests as intense people-pleasing, poor boundaries, and losing your identity in relationships.

Co-dependency counseling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals overcome unhealthy patterns of behavior in their relationships, particularly those characterized by co-dependency. Co-dependency refers to a pattern of relating to others that is characterized by excessive reliance on others for approval, identity, and self-worth. It often involves enabling behaviors and can lead to difficulties in setting boundaries and maintaining healthy relationships.

Alexander Fidelman
Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Codependency issues are generally rooted in what's known as "parent/child conflict", referring to the early childhood patterns installed on the subconscious level as a results of early life trauma and drama.
5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions. It is a also a powerful way to change habits and behaviors by coding in specific behavioral patterns directly into the subconscious mind.

iRecovery Behavioral Healthcare
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, LMHC
Codependency often begins as a genuine strength — attentiveness, loyalty, an ability to sense what other people need — that over time becomes losing track of yourself entirely. Many clients learned early that keeping others stable was their job, and carried that role into adult relationships without ever choosing it. Our work at iRecovery explores where those patterns began and builds the practical skill of setting boundaries without being overwhelmed by guilt.

Fort Lauderdale has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities and most established affirming therapy ecosystems in the southeastern United States, with LGBTQ+-focused practices and therapists well represented across the city and Broward County. The city's affluent waterfront and yachting culture — and its reputation as a destination for wealthy retirees and seasonal residents — create a distinctive therapy clientele that includes high-net-worth individuals navigating relationship complexity, addiction, and the existential weight of leisure-focused affluence. Broward Health and Memorial Healthcare System provide institutional mental health resources for a county of nearly two million people. Fort Lauderdale's large Brazilian and Haitian communities generate demand for Portuguese- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists, and the broader South Florida recovery community makes addiction treatment and aftercare among the most active practice areas in the region.
