Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my practice, I integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients with codependency develop mindfulness skills and cultivate self-compassion while committing to actions that align with their values and autonomy. Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques assist clients in identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors associated with codependency, promoting healthier boundaries and self-esteem. Incorporating Person-Centered Therapy principles, I provide a supportive and empathetic environment for clients to explore their emotions and experiences, empowering them to reconnect with their authentic selves and build healthier relationships.

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
So many of us have been socialized to center other people's emotions at the expense of our own needs. We do this without thought, without understanding the consequences to ourselves because for so long, it has just felt like What We Are Supposed To Do. But it doesn't have to be like this. You are the main character in your life after all! As such, your responsibilities are simple: (1) be clear, and (2) be kind. You are not responsible for how others respond to your boundaries, but you ARE responsible for communicating them (hard!) and for holding them (harder!). Together, we can work on helping you to start noticing these patterns as they play out, experimenting with different ways of relating, and building healthier boundaries that allow you to care for both yourself and your loved ones more wholeheartedly.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I help individuals struggling with codependency and anxious attachment break free from unhealthy relationship patterns and build a stronger sense of self. If you find yourself over-giving, fearing abandonment, or struggling to set boundaries, you’re not alone. My approach focuses on healing attachment wounds, developing self-trust, and creating secure, fulfilling connections. Through mindfulness, inner work, and evidence-based strategies, I help clients shift from people-pleasing and anxiety-driven relationships to ones rooted in mutual respect and emotional balance. You deserve relationships where you feel valued and at ease.

Awaken Wellness Center, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Losing yourself in caring for others is often a survival skill, not a flaw. We meet you where you are, using IFS to gently get to know the parts of you that learned to earn love through self-sacrifice, and Brainspotting to help heal the earlier experiences that shaped them — so you can show up for others without disappearing.

Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
Relationship betrayal and sex or pornography addiction can create unhealthy patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, rescuing, and losing yourself in the needs or behaviors of another person. I help clients understand these relationship patterns, develop healthy boundaries, strengthen self-trust, and move toward relationships based on emotional safety, mutual responsibility, and respect. I am well-versed in the prodependency model and adopt that belief system as well. I also run a free pro-dependence online group for female betrayed partners.

Alexandria is a historic independent city directly south of Washington, DC, home to a large population of federal government employees, military personnel, contractors, and political professionals whose work creates a distinctive set of mental health pressures around high-stakes careers, security clearances, and the particular stress of working in proximity to political power. The city's cost of living is among the highest in the country, and financial stress sits alongside the intense professional demands of the DC metro workforce for many residents. A strong private therapy sector is well established in the Old Town, Del Ray, and Eisenhower Avenue corridors, and Alexandria residents also have access to the broader DC metro therapy market. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the career and identity pressures of a community defined by government and national security work.
