Portland, Oregon therapist: Chuck Chapman, counselor/therapist
Codependency

Chuck Chapman

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Many men don’t realize they are struggling with codependency because it doesn’t look like the stereotypical picture. You might be the responsible one, the dependable one, the one who tries to avoid conflict and keep the peace. You care deeply, you try hard, and you want the people you love to be happy. But somewhere along the way, your relationships may have become built around managing other people’s feelings instead of expressing your own. You may say yes when you mean no, suppress your frustration to avoid an argument, or carry the emotional load of the relationship in silence. Over time, this leads to resentment, exhaustion, emotional disconnect, and the quiet belief that your needs don’t matter—or worse, that having needs makes you selfish. This is what I call Nice Guy Syndrome. It’s not about being kind; kindness is good. It’s about abandoning yourself in the hope of earning love, approval, or peace. The irony is that the more you try to be “the good guy,” the more distant, frustrated, or shut down the relationship can become. You lose your voice, your leadership, and your sense of self. My work with Nice Guys is about helping you come back to yourself. We learn to identify your needs, set boundaries that protect connection rather than threaten it, and speak with clarity instead of walking on eggshells. We explore where these patterns came from and how they’ve shaped your relationships. This isn’t about becoming a jerk or swinging to the opposite extreme. It’s about becoming a Confident Husband—a man who leads with presence, stands in integrity, expresses himself honestly, and loves from a grounded, open heart. You don’t need to earn love. You need to show up as the man you actually are.

Portland, Oregon therapist: Meghan Hanes, licensed clinical social worker
Codependency

Meghan Hanes

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Codependency often develops when we learn to prioritize the needs, emotions, or expectations of others above our own. You may find yourself struggling with boundaries, feeling responsible for other people's happiness, or losing sight of your own needs and identity. Therapy can help you develop healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, and a deeper connection with yourself.

Portland, Oregon therapist: Lesley Lacny, licensed professional counselor
Codependency

Lesley Lacny

Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Codependency can show up as over-focusing on others’ needs, difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions and choices. It often leads to exhaustion, resentment, and a loss of connection to your own needs and identity. I offer therapy for codependency to help you understand the deeper emotional patterns that keep you stuck in these dynamics. Together, we’ll explore how these patterns developed, how they show up in your relationships, and what’s happening beneath the urge to over-give or over-function. The work focuses on building healthier boundaries, strengthening self-trust, and developing a more balanced and grounded sense of self in relationships.

Loving someone who has an active or prior dependency, obsession, or addiction can be physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually exhausting! With Codependency comes anxiety, stress, and often depression. Your expectations are often broken which can effect your self worth and peace of mind. We will work on your identified goals for our time together. This may include identifying thinking patterns and behaviors and how to reshape things in a positive way. Learning Self-compassion and tools and skills to address the anxiety and other emotions and thoughts that accompany codependency will be a part of our work. You might benefit from processing the root concerns, triggers and any trauma that may be informing your codependency.
