Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency often involves over-functioning, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions and choices. We will sort through where these patterns came from, what they have cost you, and why they have been so hard to change. I help clients build healthier boundaries, stronger self-trust, and more balanced relationships that do not depend on guilt, fear, or over-responsibility.

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.

Aysha DeSilva
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I support individuals who struggle with codependency and patterns of losing themselves in relationships. Using psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR, I enjoy helping clients understand the underlying experiences that add to these patterns while building healthier relationships and a stronger sense of self.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency usually means a difficulty in being a separate person. It can be hard to disagree and have your own inner experiences that are separate from a close person. It becomes clearer when we recognize that we struggle with: putting others’ needs ahead of your own, setting boundaries, or feel responsible for how others feel. Over time, this can lead to resentment, burnout, or a loss of your sense of self. Therapy focuses on helping you reconnect with your own needs, develop healthier boundaries, and build relationships that feel more balanced and sustainable.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Codependency and people-pleasing can be an adaptation to the environment in which we grew up. Understanding that our own needs are our legitimate concern, and setting boundaries so that these needs are met, is necessary to prevent burnout.
