Codependency
Erika Barrington
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BC-DMT
Codependency is something I'm deeply familiar with — both professionally and personally — and it's one of my greatest passions to work on with clients. At its core, I think of codependency as a struggle with interdependence: being connected to others while still remaining a separate person with your own needs, feelings, and limits. It often shows up as putting others' needs first, tying your own wellbeing to someone else's, or feeling compelled to fix or manage another person's pain.
Trauma and neurodivergence can both quietly set us up for these patterns — when your needs have been dismissed or overlooked, it makes sense that you learn to deprioritize them. One of the most powerful early steps is just naming what's been happening: education alone can feel like you're finally getting a map of your inner life. From there, we do the real healing work with whatever we discover. For clients who are open to it, we may also explore peer support options, including 12-step communities organized around codependency recovery — though this is always entirely your call.

Codependency
HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Codependency is another specialty of mine in being a people pleaser. If you are looking to find someone to complete you, you probably have codependent qualities. Codependent people find their self esteem through helping others often at ones own expense. Codependency is all about looking outside ourselves for answers/happiness instead of inward. Happiness and all of our answers to our questions lie within if we can become still enough to listen to our intuition. Successful relationships are more interdependent where we both have our lives, interests, friends, family, etc. and intersect with our partners when we are doing something together. Many of my clients have gone to Codependents Anonymous, ACOA, Alanon, etc. These are safe spaces to explore more interdependent and independent ways of being and share our experiences without being judged. There are many great books on codependency. I teach people how to become your own person not needing approval from others and celebrating your interdependence with one another when in relationship.

The work with codependency focuses on strengthening the individual’s understanding of themself through boundaries exploration and building up and highlighting the positive elements - personal traits as well as managing the difficult emotions that come with changing how a person relates to others.

Codependency
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who have learned to orient themselves around other people’s needs, emotions, or expectations at the expense of their own. This can look like being the reliable one, the steady one, the person others turn to, while privately feeling depleted, unseen, or unsure where your own preferences begin. Many people I see have spent years managing relationships, smoothing conflict, or carrying more than their share because it felt safer than disappointing someone or risking disconnection.
Codependent patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay attuned to others to keep the peace, where your worth was tied to being helpful or accommodating, or where expressing your own needs led to tension, withdrawal, or criticism. Over time, this can make it hard to trust your internal signals, set boundaries without guilt, or believe that your needs matter as much as anyone else’s.
In our work together, we look at how these patterns formed, what they have protected you from, and how they show up in your relationships today. We make space for the part of you that learned to stay small, agreeable, or over responsible in order to feel safe, and for the part of you that is tired of doing so much emotional labor. From there, we explore what it means to move through relationships with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice, without abandoning the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep things stable. Supporting people who have organized themselves around others for a long time is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how much you have carried.
