Codependency can often lead to unhealthy relationships, low self esteem, and abuse. I work with clients to challenge codependent behaviors to increase freedom and autonomy in their life.

Psychologist, J.D., Ph.D., Inc.
While the term codependency is often used exclusively in relationships where one partner is an addict, I believe it is important to look at the role of codependency in all relationships. Whenever we are excessively tied to someone needing emotional or psychological support and when there does not exist a process to hand over autonomy or responsibility to the person who's been impaired, we have to examine our codependency issues. While our conscious intent may be to be helpful and nothing more, codependent behaviors may be fueled by underlying needs for security, validation, power, and self-esteem. Whatever the cause, freedom from codependency generally results in greatly increased energy, passion for life, and happiness.

Andrea Hamilton
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.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My approach teaches you to depend on yourself and to be self-directed. You can learn to help yourself if you improve your discomfort tolerance for doing things for yourself, taking calculated risks, and accept yourself even when you fail.
