Codependency
Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
Codependency is a pattern of learned behaviors, which is used to cope in relationships. Codependent behaviors are frequently modeled to people in their childhood. Usually, codependency is a normal response to an unhealthy relationship(s). Codependent behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs, can be replaced by learning how to identify and set boundaries, communicate assertively, and increase individual self-esteem.

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.

Counselor/Therapist, MS, CCST, HE, LMT
Many people learn early in life to care for others before caring for themselves. Therapy can help you understand your attachment style so you may strengthen healthy boundaries, reconnect with your own needs, make confident decisions, and build relationships that feel mutual rather than exhausting. You will learn how to resource yourself with embodying and self-care practices. Learning to love all the parts of you.

Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of us find ourselves growing up with some kind of relational trauma. Perhaps you were expected to be overly responsible as a young person or you grew up with a parent with mental health issues or addiction and so had to put their emotional needs before yours. This can lead to hyper empathy, people-pleasing tendencies and a difficulty with personal boundaries.
