Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we address codependency by helping clients identify the underlying fears that drive them to prioritize others' needs at the expense of their own. Our Deconstructing Anxiety™ method reveals the core fears—such as fear of abandonment or loss of self-worth—that fuel codependent patterns. These patterns, or “chief defenses,” may seem protective but often trap individuals in cycles of people-pleasing and emotional reliance. Through our process of "doing the opposite", clients learn to establish healthy boundaries and embrace their self-worth, allowing for a more balanced, authentic connection with their partners. This transformation helps foster relationships based on mutual respect and genuine support, rather than dependency.

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.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Setting healthy boundaries is something many of us did not effectively learn in childhood, even in the most well meaning and loving of families. We have, instead, learned to live life to serve others and to prioritize the needs of others, even when doing so harms ourselves. My approach is to help my clients create healthy boundaries, advocate for the self, learn to communicate our needs clearly and directly, and then learn to act upon the needs we have outlined to those we love so we can cultivate healthy and mutually effective relationships. Cutting the ties of codependency is central to this process: staying in one's own lane, letting others solve their own problems, offering compassion and help when asked, letting go of the rescue fantasy, living without an emotional hangover, and learning to accept that there is much we cannot control.
