Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
In our work on Codependency, we investigate the attachment wounds and systemic pressures that make "self-sacrifice" feel like survival. We use relational liberation tools to help you establish boundaries that protect your spirit while maintaining connection. Our goal is to move you from reactive caretaking to proactive, autonomous partnership.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our counseling services for codependency are designed to address and heal the patterns of behavior that lead individuals to form or maintain one-sided, emotionally destructive, and often abusive relationships. Understanding that codependency stems from deep-seated needs and often begins in one's family of origin, we provide a supportive environment that promotes self-awareness, independence, and healthier relational dynamics.
Empowering Self-Sufficiency and Healthier Relationships
* Identifying Patterns: We help clients identify patterns of codependent behavior and understand the underlying psychological factors that contribute to these patterns, such as low self-esteem, fear of abandonment, or an excessive need for approval.
* Establishing Boundaries: A key focus of counseling is teaching clients how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships. This includes learning to say no, recognizing one's own needs and desires, and understanding the distinction between helping and enabling.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is utilized to challenge and change unhelpful beliefs and behaviors that perpetuate codependency, fostering a healthier, more autonomous sense of self.
* Building Self-Esteem: Counseling sessions are geared toward boosting self-esteem and self-worth, empowering clients to feel confident in standing alone and valuing their own well-being as much as they value the well-being of others.
* Encouraging Interdependence: We focus on transitioning from codependency to interdependence, where healthy, mutual give-and-take relationships are the norm.
Goals of Counseling for Codependency
Our therapy for codependency aims to:
* Promote Self-Reliance: Encourage a stronger, more independent self-identity separate from one’s relationships.
* Healthy Relationship Dynamics: Facilitate the development of relationships characterized by mutual respect, balance, and emotional honesty.
* Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Equip clients with skills to manage their emotions effectively, reducing the tendency to use relationships as a way to soothe or suppress these feelings.
* Increased Awareness: Heighten self-awareness regarding the origins and triggers of codependent behaviors, enabling proactive changes.
* Lifestyle Adjustments: Support clients in making practical changes to their lifestyles that reinforce healthy interpersonal behaviors and thought patterns.
Codependency can overshadow your sense of self and disrupt your ability to maintain balanced, fulfilling relationships. With our support, you can uncover the roots of your codependent behaviors, develop a healthier approach to relationships, and embrace a more self-directed life. Reach out today to start your journey toward lasting change and relational health.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Codependency has a way of sneaking up on you. One day you realize you have been so focused on everyone else's needs, everyone else's feelings, everyone else's happiness, that you have completely lost track of your own. You pour from an empty cup and call it love. You say yes when everything in you is screaming no. You measure your worth by how much you can give, and when it is never enough, you give more.
If any of that sounds familiar, you are not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you. Codependency is often a survival strategy that made perfect sense at some point in your life. It just stopped serving you.
At CCW International, we help you gently untangle the patterns that have kept you stuck in cycles of over-giving, people-pleasing, and losing yourself in your relationships. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we help you reconnect with your own needs, rebuild your sense of self, and learn what it feels like to show up for others without abandoning yourself in the process.
You are allowed to be a priority in your own life. We will help you believe that.

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Codependency can make relationships feel emotionally draining, confusing, or one‑sided. Many people find themselves over‑giving, people‑pleasing, or carrying the emotional weight of others while ignoring their own needs. Over time, this pattern can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and a loss of identity — making it difficult to set boundaries, feel confident, or maintain healthy connections.
I help individuals understand the roots of codependent behaviors and how these patterns develop over time. Through a compassionate and supportive approach, we work together to rebuild self‑worth, strengthen boundaries, and create healthier relationship dynamics. My goal is to help you reconnect with your own needs, regain balance, and cultivate relationships that feel mutual, respectful, and emotionally safe.
If you’re ready to break old patterns and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Dionysica Stewart
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
I support clients in breaking free from the patterns of codependency that can leave them feeling drained, unseen, or overly responsible for others. Drawing from Melody Beattie’s Codependent No More workbook, I guide clients through practical steps to set healthy boundaries, reconnect with their own needs, and build self-worth. Together, we’ll create space for healthier relationships and a stronger, more empowered sense of self.

Pat Dudley
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LCPC, NCC
Codependency is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Among the core characteristics of codependency is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity. In our work together, we will explore/examine the issues related to the behavior and improve the reasoning behind co-dependency.

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Is most of your time spent worrying about and taking care of others? Does it feel almost impossible to share what's really on in your mind because you fear being rejected? Do you experience feelings of guilt or shame when you think about doing something just for you?
If you are ready to find freedom from the feelings of guilt and shame that are holding you hostage, counseling can help. You can learn to make yourself a priority while having relationships that are nurturing and supportive. You know that you "should" be taking better care of yourself and stop letting others take advantage of your kindness. But whenever you think about it you feel lost and overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin. Together, we will work through the feelings of guilt, shame, and fear that are keeping you from being able to honor your voice. We will work through your mental/emotional blocks so you can learn to "trust your gut" again. You will learn how to create healthy boundaries in your relationships so you can say "yes" or "no" to things with confidence.
If you are ready to finally become a priority in your life then I would love to help.
