How much better to put your mind and energy to taking care of your self and depending on your own efforts than to believe you can't be OK unless you qualifier (addict) gets sober. I can help and guide you on how to get into your own recovery and long lasting sobriety.

Codependency
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.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency is what happens when you've learned that love requires self-erasure. When taking care of others feels safer than having needs of your own. When saying no feels like a threat to the relationship. At Simple Empathy we use IFS and Narrative Therapy to help you understand where that pattern came from, which parts of you maintain it, and what it would look like to be in relationship without losing yourself in the process. This work is direct and sometimes uncomfortable. It's also some of the most freeing work a person can do.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I approach codependency not as a flaw or diagnosis, but as a set of learned relational strategies shaped by attachment, trauma, and survival. Many people who identify with codependent patterns are deeply attuned, responsible, and caring—often at the expense of their own needs. In therapy, we gently explore how these patterns developed, what they have protected, and how they may no longer be serving you.
Our work focuses on building awareness, strengthening boundaries, and increasing self-trust while honoring your desire for connection. Through a trauma-informed and relational approach, we work to untangle obligation from care, guilt from responsibility, and self-worth from over-functioning. Therapy becomes a space to practice new ways of relating—ones that allow for closeness without self-abandonment and support relationships that feel mutual, grounded, and sustainable.
