Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Codependency can feel like you’re constantly managing other people’s emotions, needs, and reactions—while your own get pushed aside. You may feel guilty when you say no, anxious when someone is upset with you, or responsible for making sure everyone around you is okay. Maybe you find yourself over-explaining, avoiding conflict, or bending over backward to keep the peace. Deep down, you might wonder, “Who am I if I’m not needed?” or “Why do I always end up in one-sided relationships?” These patterns didn’t appear out of nowhere—they were learned in childhood, often in environments where love, approval, or safety felt tied to how well you could care for others. When you were young, putting others first may have been necessary for survival—but now, it’s keeping you stuck in exhaustion, resentment, and self-doubt.
But you don’t have to keep living this way. Healing from codependency isn’t about becoming selfish—it’s about learning that your needs, emotions, and boundaries matter just as much as everyone else’s. Using Post-Induction Therapy (PIT), I help clients heal the childhood wounds that created these patterns, so they can stop seeking self-worth through overgiving and start building relationships based on mutual respect and emotional balance. Therapy helps you stop feeling responsible for other people’s happiness, set boundaries without guilt, and finally put yourself on your own priority list. You don’t have to prove your worth by constantly doing for others—you are already enough, just as you are.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Codependent patterns often develop from a deep sensitivity to others and a strong desire to maintain connection. Over time, this can lead to prioritizing others’ needs while losing sight of your own boundaries or identity. Many women find themselves over-giving, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions. In our work together, we focus on understanding how these patterns formed, strengthening your sense of self, and building ways of relating that allow for connection without self-sacrifice.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Codependency often develops as a survival strategy — and it works, until it doesn't. At Restored, we help clients recognize the relational patterns rooted in early attachment wounds that lead to over-functioning, people-pleasing, and losing themselves in relationships. Through compassionate, attachment-based work, we help you rebuild a healthier relationship with yourself so you can show up in your relationships from a place of genuine choice rather than fear or obligation.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
You may find yourself focusing heavily on others’ needs, feeling responsible for how they feel, or having a hard time saying no. This can lead to overextending yourself, resentment, or feeling like your own needs get pushed aside.
Our work focuses on helping you understand these patterns and begin shifting them in a way that feels realistic and sustainable. You’ll build clearer boundaries, strengthen your sense of self, and make decisions that better reflect what you actually want.
The goal is to help you create more balanced relationships, feel more confident in your choices, and show up in a way that feels healthier and more consistent over time.
