Codependency
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency is a circular pattern that emerge in relationships when one person needs another person to need them in order to keep the relationship going. This is an unhealthy pattern and often leads to unhappiness and toxic patterns in relationships. I approach these relationships from a place of empathy and concern for all parties involved. It is my goal to illuminate these patterns and teach individuals to set healthy boundaries that will allow them to break free of codependent relationships and live healthier and happier lives with friends and family.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Setting healthy boundaries is something many of us did not effectively learn in childhood, even in the most well meaning and loving of families. We have, instead, learned to live life to serve others and to prioritize the needs of others, even when doing so harms ourselves. My approach is to help my clients create healthy boundaries, advocate for the self, learn to communicate our needs clearly and directly, and then learn to act upon the needs we have outlined to those we love so we can cultivate healthy and mutually effective relationships. Cutting the ties of codependency is central to this process: staying in one's own lane, letting others solve their own problems, offering compassion and help when asked, letting go of the rescue fantasy, living without an emotional hangover, and learning to accept that there is much we cannot control.

Codependency
Dr. Maria Canyon
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Patterns of codependency develop for complex reasons (e.g. personality traits, childhood environments) and require a thorough multimodal approach to treatment. Codependency develops as a unconscious and valid protective response to relational dynamics. Overtime you may have started to recognize the harmful effects this tendency, that likely protected you during childhood, is having on you and your current relationships. Together we can explore the unconscious patterning that has led to this and work to implement healthy boundaries and behaviors. While doing this, we will hold space for the inevitable emotions that arise when setting new patterns into place. Overtime, my hope is that you will be able to integrate your compassion for others into an empowered self, meeting your own needs as well as others.

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.

Donna Hurd
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
If you have been trained from childhood to react or behave in a certain manner that feels unnatural to you, as an adult it may feel that you do not really know who you are. Treating codependency and finding the person you truly are can be an enlightening, "coming home" kind of experience.
