Codependency
Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
Codependency represents a lack of self-esteem, so I'll work with you to change how you think about yourself. CBT can be very helpful in getting you to eliminate thought patterns that hurt you and make you judge yourself negatively. Once you start to trust yourself a bit, counseling will focus on gently stretching yourself so that you discover your capacities and boundaries.

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.

Codependency
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.

Codependency
XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Codependency often shows up as overgiving, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in others’ needs. I gently guide you back to yourself—your desires, boundaries, and worth. Using relational and somatic tools, we’ll heal the patterns that keep you stuck in caregiving at your own expense, and practice what it means to love without losing yourself.
