Pamela Saladino
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S., M.A., LMHC, CHP
Codependency is created when we seek our self-approval from others. This habit can continue to affect our relationships, our decisions and our lives. Although we cannot change the patterns we have created, we can become aware of the patterns we no longer want and form stronger, new patterns of relating.

Addressing codependency involves cultivating self-awareness and establishing healthy boundaries. Through counseling, we explore the dynamics of codependent relationships, develop assertiveness skills, and work towards building a foundation of self-reliance and balanced connections.

Psychologist, J.D., Ph.D., Inc.
While the term codependency is often used exclusively in relationships where one partner is an addict, I believe it is important to look at the role of codependency in all relationships. Whenever we are excessively tied to someone needing emotional or psychological support and when there does not exist a process to hand over autonomy or responsibility to the person who's been impaired, we have to examine our codependency issues. While our conscious intent may be to be helpful and nothing more, codependent behaviors may be fueled by underlying needs for security, validation, power, and self-esteem. Whatever the cause, freedom from codependency generally results in greatly increased energy, passion for life, and happiness.
