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.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Codependency and people-pleasing can be an adaptation to the environment in which we grew up. Understanding that our own needs are our legitimate concern, and setting boundaries so that these needs are met, is necessary to prevent burnout.
