Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in codependent patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected from themselves or each other. Codependency can show up as difficulty setting boundaries, prioritizing others at the expense of your own needs, fear of conflict or abandonment, or feeling responsible for a partner’s emotions or behavior. Over time, these patterns can strain relationships and erode trust and intimacy.
In therapy, we work to identify how these patterns developed and how they continue to affect communication and emotional balance in your relationship. I help couples learn healthier ways to express needs, tolerate discomfort, and support one another without losing a sense of self. This often includes developing clearer boundaries, improving emotional regulation, and building more balanced and mutual connection.
The goal is not to create distance, but to strengthen relationships by helping each person feel more grounded, autonomous, and secure. As these changes take shape, many couples find that conflict becomes more manageable and intimacy feels more genuine and sustainable.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
As a therapist specializing in codependency, I understand the unique challenges and struggles that can come with this pattern of behavior. Codependency can manifest in many different ways, but it often involves an unhealthy reliance on others for validation and self-worth, a lack of boundaries, and difficulty prioritizing one's own needs and desires.
Through a combination of therapy techniques, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of their codependent patterns and develop new coping skills to break free from these negative patterns. Together, we work to identify the underlying causes of codependency and explore strategies for establishing healthy boundaries, improving self-esteem, and fostering healthy relationships.
Whether you are struggling with codependency in your romantic relationships, family dynamics, or other areas of your life, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and work towards lasting change. My goal is to help clients build a more fulfilling and authentic life, free from the constraints of codependency.
If you're ready to break free from codependency and build healthy, fulfilling relationships, contact me today to schedule a consultation. Let's work together to help you achieve greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and personal growth.

Melena Ayres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, LCDC
If you find yourself prioritizing others’ needs over your own, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for how others feel, you may be experiencing codependency. These patterns often come from deep-rooted relational experiences, oftentimes from being parentified as a child.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
I work with individuals struggling with codependency, including patterns of overgiving, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting or maintaining healthy boundaries. My approach helps clients understand the underlying dynamics driving these patterns while building practical skills to develop clearer limits, stronger self-trust, and more balanced relationships. I also support clients in recognizing and responding to manipulation or controlling dynamics, helping them stay grounded and make intentional choices rather than reacting out of guilt or fear. I integrate insight-oriented work with concrete tools to address approval-seeking, fear of conflict, and emotional reactivity. Together, we focus on fostering a more solid sense of self and creating healthier, more reciprocal connections.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
You're the one who holds everything together. You anticipate everyone's needs before they even ask. You say yes when you mean no, stay when you know you should go, and somehow always end up responsible for everyone else's feelings — while quietly wondering when it's going to be your turn.
Codependency isn't a character flaw. It's a learned way of relating to the world, usually born out of environments where love felt conditional, chaos was the norm, or taking care of others was the only way to feel safe or needed. It made sense once. The problem is that it tends to follow you long after the circumstances that created it are gone.
At Love Let Out, we work with people who are exhausted from over-functioning — those who have poured so much into others that they've lost track of themselves entirely. We help you explore where these patterns began, why they've been so hard to shake, and what it might look like to build relationships rooted in genuine connection rather than fear, obligation, or the need to be needed.
This work isn't about becoming less caring or less giving. It's about learning that your needs matter too. That you are allowed to take up space. That love — real love — doesn't require you to disappear into it.
You've spent a long time taking care of everyone else. It's okay to let this be for you.

Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Codependency occurs when your self-worth, identity, and emotional stability become tied to taking care of or pleasing someone else. It often shows up as an overwhelming need to fix other people's problems, a fear of rejection, and a habit of ignoring your own physical and emotional needs to keep the peace. If you find yourself struggling to say no, or feeling intensely guilty for setting basic boundaries, you are likely operating from survival patterns learned long ago.T herapy provides a compassionate space to untangle your identity from the needs of others. Together, we will work to break the cycles of people-pleasing, rebuild your self-esteem, and quiet the guilt of choosing yourself. You will learn how to establish healthy, balanced boundaries, reconnect with your authentic desires, and build relationships based on mutual respect rather than emotional exhaustion.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
If you find yourself constantly putting others' needs ahead of your own, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling like your worth depends on being needed, you might be dealing with codependency. This doesn’t mean you're weak or broken. It often means you learned to survive by taking care of others at your own expense.
I help people untangle themselves from patterns that keep them stuck in unhealthy dynamics—whether it’s in romantic relationships, family roles, or friendships. We’ll look at where those patterns began, how they’ve shaped your sense of identity, and how to start showing up for yourself without guilt or fear.
Codependency can feel like a cycle you can’t break, but change is possible. You can learn to have relationships without losing yourself in them. Therapy gives you space to reconnect with your own needs, values, and voice.

Dallas is a sprawling metropolitan hub where corporate culture, long commutes, and economic ambition create significant demand for therapists specializing in burnout, anxiety, and work-life balance. The city's rapid growth and large transplant population mean many residents are navigating isolation and major life transitions without established local support networks, making therapy a particularly valuable resource. Dallas has a large and diverse population with strong demand for culturally affirming therapists serving its Hispanic, Black, and South Asian communities. UT Southwestern Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White Health provide major institutional mental health resources across the DFW metroplex.
