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.

Dr. Natassia Johnson
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC
Relationships matter, but overly relying on relationships to make you feel whole and complete is an issue. It's important to balance the worth you generate from self and the worth you generate from loved ones around you.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.
