Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
John Lee once said, "Recovery from codependency is like kicking heroin, only harder." Our need to please, to fix, to control can take us to the brink of insanity & drive everyone around us crazy, too! But we can learn new ways to think & feel about ourselves so we can step back from enmeshment.

Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Codependency often arises from prioritizing others’ needs over our own, sometimes making it easier to care for others than to advocate for ourselves. While this pattern may have developed as a way to maintain connection or safety, it can lead to exhaustion, resentment, and a loss of personal identity. In our work together, we will explore what you feel and need, cultivate self-awareness, and develop the boundaries that allow you to meet your own needs while maintaining healthy relationships. Through a somatic and compassionate approach, we’ll support your journey toward greater self-trust, balance, and authentic connection.

Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

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.
