Codependency
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Codependency
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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
I use Somatic Experiencing to help you tune into your own wants and needs so you can start learning to have a clearer sense of your boundaries, as well as the strength to set them.
A lot of relationships are labeled as 'codependent', but sometimes it can be more accurate to say that it's become easier for you to guess at what your partner wants than it is to know what you want.
Once you get more connected to what you want, it can become easier to have those conversations with your partner, and easier to stand strong in your needs.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
