Codependency
Allison Cordts - Sunrise Therapy for Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC
As a former codependent young person, I'm well aware of how this type of belief and behavior system wreaks havoc on our ability to find and maintain healthy relationships. The good news: it's curable with some awareness and the drive to make the necessary changes in how you see yourself in relation to others.

Codependency
Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Concerns often described as “codependency” usually develop for very understandable reasons. Many people learn early in life to stay attuned to others’ needs, moods, or expectations as a way of maintaining safety, connection, or belonging. Over time, these patterns can become deeply ingrained and may show up as difficulty setting boundaries, prioritizing others over oneself, fear of conflict or abandonment, people-pleasing, or a chronic sense of responsibility for others’ emotions.
In my work, I view these patterns not as flaws, but as adaptations that once made sense in a particular relational environment. Therapy can become a space to gently explore how these ways of relating developed, what they have cost over time, and what might be needed now. Understanding the origins of these patterns often brings relief and helps reduce the shame that so often accompanies them.
Together, we may work on developing a stronger sense of self, clearer boundaries, and a greater capacity to notice and honor your own needs, feelings, and limits. This process unfolds gradually and with compassion, especially for those who have spent much of their lives oriented toward others. The goal is not to become detached or uncaring, but to cultivate relationships that feel more balanced, authentic, and supportive of your well-being.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You may find yourself overgiving, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. Codependency often develops from earlier relationship experiences where your needs were overlooked or unsafe to express. In our work together, we focus on helping you reconnect with your own needs, strengthen your sense of self, and develop healthier boundaries—without guilt. Using approaches like IFS, we gently explore the parts of you that feel responsible for others while building the confidence to show up differently in your relationships.

Codependency
Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Codependency isn’t just about “losing yourself in a relationship.” It’s a survival strategy — often born from childhood environments where attunement, safety, or emotional permission were inconsistent or absent. In our work together, we gently unravel these patterns, not by labeling you as broken, but by honoring the intelligence of the parts that learned to over-function, over-give, and under-receive.
I help clients build internal boundaries before external ones — learning to recognize where they end and others begin. Together, we practice new relational templates rooted in self-trust, emotional honesty, and reciprocity. This isn’t about becoming “independent” in a vacuum. It’s about reclaiming yourself without losing connection — perhaps for the first time.
