It can be scary to acknowledge codependency because it often means we need to make changes to our relationships. You probably have good reasons for engaging in codependency. I can help you build a sense of self and security, and learn how to have healthy interdependent relationships.
Couples counseling gives partners the opportunity to improve communication, strengthen intimacy and deal effectively with conflict. It is important to be each other’s best friend. A strong foundation of friendship protects your relationship from potential future issues of disconnecting from each other, loneliness or isolation.
Joie de Vivre provides compassionate and personalized therapy for couples who want nothing more than to mend and heal their relationship, as well as help with overcoming past struggles and disappointments. With couples counseling, you and your partner will be able to identify present issues in your relationship and discover healthy, productive methods of communication and dealing with them in order to help your relationship flourish.
Codependency is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s abilities to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. Because codependency is usually rooted in a person’s childhood, treatment often involves exploration into early childhood issues and their relationship to current destructive behavior patterns. Also, treatment includes education, experiential groups, and individual therapy through which those with codependency can rediscover themselves and identify self-defeating behavior patterns.
In our work together, I help you explore the underlying causes of your codependency, develop healthier coping skills, boundaries, and communication strategies, so you can create more fulfilling relationships and lead a more balanced life.
