Susana Scotti, Journey Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PhD
Struggling with codependency can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, and unsure of your own needs or boundaries. You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your well-being, feeling responsible for fixing or rescuing those around you, or experiencing guilt when you try to put yourself first. As a licensed psychologist with expertise in trauma, addiction, and mood disorders, I understand how codependent patterns often develop as a way to cope with past experiences and relational wounds. In therapy, we work together to uncover these underlying dynamics, build self-awareness, and strengthen your sense of identity and self-worth.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help clients develop healthier boundaries, improve communication, and learn how to engage in relationships from a place of balance rather than obligation or fear. Whether codependency is connected to past trauma, substance use, or ongoing anxiety or depression, our work will focus on helping you create more fulfilling, stable, and authentic connections, starting with the relationship you have with yourself.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I help clients recognize and shift patterns of people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and over-reliance on others for validation that can leave relationships feeling draining or unbalanced. Together, we explore where these patterns come from and work on building stronger self-worth, emotional independence, and healthier ways of relating to others. My approach is supportive and practical, focused on helping you develop clear boundaries, trust your own needs, and create more secure, reciprocal relationships. The goal is to feel more grounded in yourself while building connections that are balanced, respectful, and genuinely fulfilling. If you’re ready to move toward healthier relationship patterns, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.

Patterns of overgiving, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in relationships often develop for a reason—but they can become overwhelming over time. You might notice difficulty saying no, fear of conflict, or a strong need to keep others happy. In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and without judgment, while building the skills needed to feel more secure, confident, and grounded in your relationships.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Codependency often develops in people who learned early in life to take care of others, manage other people’s emotions, or keep the peace in order to feel safe or loved. As adults, this can look like over-giving, difficulty setting boundaries, anxiety in relationships, or losing yourself in other people’s needs. In therapy, we focus on boundaries, self-trust, and learning how to be in relationships without abandoning yourself.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Codependency often reflects early relational patterns in which emotional needs, boundaries, and self-worth became entangled with the needs of others. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to understand how these patterns continue to shape adult relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional autonomy, clarity, and the capacity to remain connected to oneself while being close to others.

You may struggle with boundaries, guilt, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in relationships.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Codependency often develops so gradually that most people don't recognize it until they are completely exhausted — emotionally drained by relationships that consistently prioritize everyone else's needs over their own. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and break codependent relationship patterns, rebuild healthy boundaries, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to untangle the deep-rooted beliefs driving codependent behavior and build genuinely healthier relationships. Telehealth therapy for codependency available across 40+ states.

Valerie Rosen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Codependency is a term that comes from treatment of addiction. It describes a person who sacrifices their own needs to try to fix or rescue a troubled partner or other important person in their life. As a relational therapist, I work with all kinds of relationship dynamics, including codependency. It's one way that people experience unhealthy boundaries in their relationships with other people, and you may be vulnerable to it if there were unhealthy patterns in your family of origin. We can work to understand where it comes from, what maintains it (what you get from it), and how to change it.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
Codependency patterns often develop as survival strategies but ultimately prevent authentic connection and self-fulfillment. I help clients identify and transform unhealthy relationship dynamics, establishing boundaries and rediscovering their own needs and identity. Through our work together, you'll develop the skills to maintain healthy interdependence while honoring your own values and well-being.
