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.

Irene Kraegel
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I work with clients struggling to create healthy boundaries and communication patterns with others who may not have their best interests at heart, helping them take needed steps toward individuation and self-care in the midst of complicated relationship situations.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Codependency is a learned pattern of interacting. We can unlearn these patterns, too. First we are going to identify the needs and learn more accurate self talk around self-esteem and self-worth. We will talk about triggers that might cause you to fall back into old patterns and ways to act with love, but not entangled in someone else's distress.

Lisa Vespico-Mull
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAP, ICAADC
Codependency can be a normal reaction to dealing with a loved one with substance use disorder. It can also affect multiple relationships apart from addiction and can sometimes be engrained due to upbringing and other factors. I am aware of resources available to help address codependency issues as well such as literature and community programs. Often times, if we feel a lack of control, it is a way to engage but will be destructive to you and your relationships in the long run.
