Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with codependency, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through therapy, we work together to identify patterns of codependent behavior and the underlying beliefs that drive them. I offer guidance and tools to help patients develop healthier coping mechanisms, set boundaries, and prioritize their own needs and well-being. Additionally, I provide education about healthy relationships and communication skills, empowering patients to cultivate more fulfilling connections with others while maintaining their sense of self. My goal is to support patients in breaking free from codependency, fostering self-compassion, and building a life based on authenticity, autonomy, and resilience.

Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with codependency by helping them better understand patterns of over-reliance, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries in relationships. Codependency often involves prioritizing others’ needs at the expense of your own, which can lead to resentment, burnout, and a loss of sense of self. In therapy, we focus on increasing self-awareness, building healthier boundaries, and strengthening your ability to identify and communicate your own needs. I incorporate CBT and DBT-based strategies, including interpersonal effectiveness skills, to help challenge unhelpful beliefs and support you in developing more balanced, fulfilling relationships.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
In my work with codependency, I help people see how the urge to over-give and put others first didn’t come out of nowhere. These patterns often begin early in life, when learning to be helpful, agreeable, or self-sacrificing felt like the safest way to stay connected. Over time, that can turn into setting your own needs aside and measuring your worth by how much you do for others. Therapy offers a compassionate space to slow this down, understand it, and begin responding to yourself with more honesty and care.
Drawing from my book - Own Your Voice, I help clients reconnect with their inner voice and create better boundaries. Together, we focus on noticing where you’ve been accepting too little, giving too much, or silencing yourself to keep the peace. As you learn to trust your voice and respect your limits, relationships start to feel less draining and more mutual—rooted in choice, self-respect, and real connection.

Valerie Rosen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is a term that comes from treatment of addiction. It describes a person who sacrifices their own needs to try to fix or rescue a troubled partner or other important person in their life. As a relational therapist, I work with all kinds of relationship dynamics, including codependency. It's one way that people experience unhealthy boundaries in their relationships with other people, and you may be vulnerable to it if there were unhealthy patterns in your family of origin. We can work to understand where it comes from, what maintains it (what you get from it), and how to change it.
