My approach teaches you to depend on yourself and to be self-directed. You can learn to help yourself if you improve your discomfort tolerance for doing things for yourself, taking calculated risks, and accept yourself even when you fail.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency is a circular pattern that emerge in relationships when one person needs another person to need them in order to keep the relationship going. This is an unhealthy pattern and often leads to unhappiness and toxic patterns in relationships. I approach these relationships from a place of empathy and concern for all parties involved. It is my goal to illuminate these patterns and teach individuals to set healthy boundaries that will allow them to break free of codependent relationships and live healthier and happier lives with friends and family.

Alyssa Kushner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Codependency is so much more than depending upon on other people. Codependency shows up as putting other peoples needs above your own, people pleasing, struggling to set boundaries or say no, frequent guilt or shame, a loud inner critic, taking responsibility for other peoples emotions, and often feeling resentful or unseen by other people because you're so busy helping them with their issues. We will get to the root of where codependency was developed and start giving you the space to learn and identify what your needs are and start putting them first. I will bring a trauma-informed, somatic, and holistic lens and pull from different approaches like mindful self compassion or other mindfulness practices, somatic exercises, DBT skills, and I am also trained in EMDR if you would like to try that to address any trauma. We will shift that inner-critic to a kinder more compassionate inner voice and give you the space to heal and attend to yourself for the first time.
