Jennifer Gray Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, EMDR
Entrepreneurship often demands collaboration, but codependency can blur the lines between healthy partnerships and over-reliance. I help entrepreneurs identify patterns of people-pleasing, boundary struggles, and overextending themselves to meet others’ expectations. Together, we’ll cultivate self-trust, assertiveness, and the ability to build mutually supportive relationships, allowing you to lead your business with clarity and confidence.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Codependency is a "buzz word" in therapy, as well as in mainstream society. Unfortunately, codependency is often misconstrued as a character flaw, when in reality, it's an adaptive pattern of interaction that has developed as a brilliant survival strategy -- it's just not working for the context of the relationship anymore. Codependency results from a need to keep oneself safe from rejection or abandonment, so a sense of prediction or anticipation is developed with regards to the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of other people. If you feel like you or your partner are codependent, let's take a look at where this adaptation comes from and what it's seemingly helping you with. Couple therapy can help you to form an awareness around your fears and help you to be healthy, autonomous people while managing them well.
