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.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Codependency and enmeshment can gradually blur the boundaries between self and others, making it difficult to recognize your own needs, feelings, and identity. Over time, this can lead to a sense of losing yourself in relationships. We will work to explore these patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and create more balanced ways of relating that allow for both connection and individuality.

Do you frequently put others' needs before your own, struggle to establish boundaries, or feel responsible for other people's emotions and happiness?

Colby Schepps
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Caring for others is such a beautiful value. However, if caring for others often means losing sight of your own needs, it may feel difficult to set boundaries or trust your choices. Therapy can help you notice these patterns with compassion, reconnect with your values, and practice relationships that make room for both care and self-respect.

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.
