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.

Elisha S Lee

Counselor/Therapist, LPC

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 therapy 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: Therapy 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 Therapy 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.

Aleenia Nakamura

Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW

In working with codependency, learning how to have healthy relationships requires open communication and clear boundaries. Working with codependency often involves learning to express needs and desires honestly, while respecting the boundaries of others. Individuals dealing with codependency need to prioritize their own emotional and mental health. This includes engaging in activities that bring joy, seeking therapy or support groups, and practicing self-compassion. Ultimately, working with codependency is about empowering oneself to develop healthier, more balanced relationships. This involves building self-esteem, fostering independence, and learning to derive self-worth from within rather than through others.
