When we grow up in dysfunctional families, often we are "given" a role or roles in the family; we learn behaviors that help us survive the dysfunction in "functional" ways. We identify these as who we are and continue functioning in the same way as adults. The problem with this occurs when the learned behaviors and roles are not helpful in current adult relationships.
At New Dimensions, we have assembled a team of professionals that is dedicated to helping people transform their lives. Our mental health professionals are committed to providing the best treatment possible so that you can overcome the obstacles that keep you from having the life that you want.
Are you experiences difficulty in your relationships? Clients with codependency issues are unable to process difficult life challenges, break cycles of shame and anxiety, address dysfunctional patterns, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I am committed to assisting clients gain deeper personal insight in order to cultivate personal growth and inner healing. I create a safe and nonjudgmental space in which you are able to explore your potential.
Many clients describe a pattern of giving and serving with little or no satisfaction or return on their investment, but resentment and toxic relationships do not have to be the norm in your life. Be empowered to create connections and satisfying intimacy with others by recognizing the choices you have to make changes for the better in your interpersonal relationships.
Let's be honest - there's a lot of influence toward codependency in our society. It can be difficult to differentiate our own thoughts and feelings from a loved ones', especially if we were raised in a family or society where we needed to keep the peace. I use IFS and EMDR to help people get to know their codependent parts in a way that is respectful and compassionate. When those parts of us feel seen and accepted and not shamed, there is room for more depth of understanding about how codependency evolved in the first place. I help people get to this point and after that, we bring tenderness and healing to the wounded parts that lie beneath. When those parts receive healing from you, you will feel grounded and secure in creating and enforcing boundaries in a confident yet loving way.
