Codependency
Brent Peak
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.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Codependency shows up quietly — in the habit of prioritizing everyone else's needs before your own, in the anxiety that comes when you try to set a boundary, in the way your emotional state rises and falls with someone else's. Many of my clients don't initially name it as codependency. They just know that they feel responsible for people in a way that exhausts them, and that saying no feels dangerous. Therapy gives you space to examine where those patterns came from, what they're costing you, and how to build relationships that feel genuinely mutual rather than one-sided.

Codependency
Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency, with it's hidden hooks in your nervous systems is difficult to break working on the surface with behaviors. Codependence occurs when each person in the relationship depends on the other person as a means of regulating their nervous system. It creates a magnetic pull and was shaped during early life relationships, being passed down from generation to generation. At Rhythm for Living, Shelly helps partnered coupes as well as parent/child groups to develop their functioning to be emotionally delinked and relationally connected. Shelly has a strong passion for working with couples and families breaking what would otherwise be an inevitable transfer of dysfunction to generations to come. She personally knows the beauty in relationships once the pattern is broken and healthy co- and self-regulation are restored.
