Dr. Cathy E. Pickett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, LCA, CCTP, NCC
Sometimes caring for others can become so important that you lose sight of yourself. I help clients recognize unhealthy patterns of overgiving, people-pleasing, rescuing, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling responsible for other people's emotions. Together, we work toward healthier boundaries, self-worth, independence, and relationships.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Relationships can develop circular patterns of mutual hostility and dependency that keep both parties frustrated and emotionally impoverished for a long time. I try to understand the emotional patterns that each partner originally brought to the situation, penetrate those patterns with empathy and understanding, and support each person's wish to be freer and stronger and happier.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Good boundaries allow you to show up well in your relationships without resentment, and equip you to remain emotionally grounded even when those around you are struggling. We will work together to define what healthy boundaries are for you, and how you can begin to implement them in your life.

Co-Dependency: From Self-Sacrifice to Self-Sovereignty
Untangling Your Identity from the Needs of Others
Co-dependency is often the "noble" struggle. It is the exhaustion that comes from being the primary emotional caretaker, the peacekeeper, and the one who anticipates everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own. In my practice, we view co-dependent patterns as deeply ingrained attachment strategies—behaviors that were likely necessary for safety in the past but are now leading to burnout, resentment, and a loss of self.
Recognizing the Systemic Loop
Co-dependency doesn't happen in a vacuum; it is a relational "dance" that we explore through a systemic lens:
The Caretaker’s Burnout: Addressing the physical and emotional collapse that occurs when your "worth" is tied to your "usefulness."
Fear of Disconnection: Understanding the roots of the anxiety that arises when you try to set a boundary or say "no."
Emotional Enmeshment: Moving from a state where you "feel" the emotions of others more intensely than your own, toward a healthy, defined sense of self.
The Path to Relational Freedom
Using over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Attachment Theory and Systems Theory, I help you navigate the transition from enmeshment to autonomy:
Attachment Repair: We look at the "why" behind the "need to be needed," using EFT to help you develop a secure attachment to yourself first.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We get curious about the "Protector" parts of you that believe you must be "perfect" or "helpful" to be loved.
Somatic Boundary Work: We learn to listen to the body’s signals of overwhelm and resentment, using them as a compass for where a boundary needs to be drawn.
Reclaiming Your Narrative
Whether you are navigating a relationship with a partner, a parent, or a child, the goal is not to stop caring—it is to care from a place of choice rather than a place of fear. Together, we work to build a life where you are no longer a "supporting character" in someone else’s story, but the conscious author of your own.
