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.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Relationships can develop circular patterns of mutual hostility and dependency that keep both parties frustrated and emotionally impoverished for a long time. I try to understand the emotional patterns that each partner originally brought to the situation, penetrate those patterns with empathy and understanding, and support each person's wish to be freer and stronger and happier.

Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Co-dependent relationships may come in different forms but they are destructive for both parties involved. I explore the unique aspects of your relationship dynamic and help teach healthier boundaries, empathy and personal responsibility, and a focus on self-acceptance according to the needs of the client in front of me. EMDR can help with prior trauma that may have contributed to recurrent patterns of behavior and responses.

Casey Mansfield
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, CCATP, ASDCS
When caring for others becomes a pattern of putting their needs before your own, it can be difficult to know where your responsibilities end and theirs begin. Codependency can lead to people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of conflict, or losing touch with your own needs and identity. Together, we can work on building healthy boundaries, strengthening self-worth, communicating more confidently, and creating relationships that feel balanced and fulfilling.

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.
