Codependency
Emma Sartwell
Counselor/Therapist, MDiv, SEP, Registered Psychotherapist
Codependency is often an issue of boundaries, of knowing where you end and another person begins. By using the body through a somatic approach, we help you come home to yourself and reconnect with your own desires, needs, and limits. This can support healthier boundaries, greater self-trust, and more balanced relationships.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with codependency, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a tendency to prioritize others’ needs and emotions above their own. Together, we explore the deeper attachment wounds, beliefs, and protective patterns that can make it difficult to trust yourself, express your needs, tolerate others’ disappointment, or feel worthy without being needed by someone else. My work helps clients reconnect with their own needs, emotions, values, and inner voice while developing healthier boundaries and more secure ways of relating. The goal is not to become less caring or connected, but to learn how to remain connected to others without abandoning yourself in the process.

Heather Avery Grant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My specialty is codependency in the context of having grown up with neglect, abuse, and attachment wounds. I'm best suited to those with low self esteem and compliance patterns of codependency or who identify as anxious attachment style. It might sound odd but... this work is so much fun. Finding your way into loving yourself, centering yourself, honoring yourself, and shifting your life so that you are strong and stable - it's a game changer and I love it!

Dr. Adam Sattler
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I work with people who feel responsible for keeping others happy, preventing conflict, or solving problems that aren’t entirely theirs to solve. We look at how these habits affect your relationships and your ability to make decisions for yourself. Therapy focuses on setting workable limits, communicating directly, and handling the guilt or anxiety that can come with doing things differently.

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.
