Codependency
XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Codependency often shows up as overgiving, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in others’ needs. I gently guide you back to yourself—your desires, boundaries, and worth. Using relational and somatic tools, we’ll heal the patterns that keep you stuck in caregiving at your own expense, and practice what it means to love without losing yourself.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
Specializing in the treatment of family systems, I help individuals gain insight into how the dynamics between two people can trigger past relational traumas, leading to emotional responses that often distance the family unit. My approach emphasizes the distinction between reactions and actions, allowing you to understand not only how you respond emotionally but also how intentional actions can transform those dynamics. Together, we will explore your family of origin experiences to identify maladaptive relational patterns and create new pathways for connection and understanding. My goal is to facilitate healing and foster healthier communication, enabling each family member to feel heard and valued. Let’s work together to strengthen your relationships and build a more cohesive, supportive family system, embarking on a journey toward healing and lasting connection.

As an underlying issue that so many individuals struggle with, education around this is imperative followed by psychoeducation around how to set healthy boundaries with others.

Codependency
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Codependency is not loving too much. It is having learned, very early, that your survival depended on monitoring someone else's emotional weather — that your needs were safest when they were invisible, even to you. The exhaustion of it is real. So is the terror of stopping. Therapy is not about learning to stop caring for others. It is about recovering the self that went underground in order to make all that caretaking possible.

Nicole Houde
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.

Codependency
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.
