Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
You may find yourself putting others’ needs first, taking responsibility for how they feel, or struggling to express your own needs and boundaries. If these patterns are affecting your relationships or sense of self, therapy can help you explore them with curiosity rather than blame.Together, we can look at how past experiences and attachment patterns may be connected to the way you relate to others today. We can also work on recognizing your needs, communicating them more clearly, and setting boundaries that feel respectful and manageable. The goal is to help you build relationships that allow space for both care for others and care for yourself.

Kaimana Psychology Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP, Registered Psychologist
My approach to treating codependency focuses on restoring a client’s sense of autonomy, self-trust, and personal power while fostering the ability to maintain healthy, meaningful relationships. I view codependency as a pattern in which individuals may gradually sacrifice their own needs, identity, and independence in an effort to preserve connection, often leaving them increasingly vulnerable to unhealthy relational dynamics. Over time, this can erode self-esteem, confidence, and resilience, making it difficult to trust their own judgment or feel secure outside of the relationship. Treatment focuses on helping clients recognize these patterns, reconnect with their own needs and values, and gradually rebuild the confidence to stand independently. Together, we work toward strengthening emotional resilience, developing healthy boundaries, and learning to tolerate the discomfort that can arise when prioritizing oneself. The goal is not to create emotional distance or eliminate the need for connection, but to help clients cultivate relationships that allow for both closeness and individuality. Ultimately, my approach is centered on empowering clients to maintain meaningful connections without losing themselves in the process, fostering a healthier balance between interdependence and independence.

Codependency
Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Codependency often involves a pattern of prioritizing others' needs, feelings, and problems over your own, often at the expense of your own well-being. It can feel like your happiness is entirely dependent on the stability of those around you. In our sessions, we explore the roots of these patterns and work on establishing healthy boundaries. The goal is to help you rediscover your own identity and build relationships based on mutual respect rather than a cycle of caretaking and exhaustion.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Codependency often begins as a necessary survival strategy in early childhood—a way of staying safe by becoming highly attuned to the needs of others. With over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate complex relationship patterns, I help you understand the 'parts' of yourself that feel responsible for everyone else's emotions.
Together, we move beyond just identifying these habits to healing the underlying wounds that make setting boundaries feel dangerous. By combining my extensive clinical background with a compassionate, relational lens, I help you shift from people-pleasing toward a grounded sense of self-worth and authentic connection with others.
