Codependency Therapists in Paradise Valley, AZ
Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. My goal at Epiphany Counseling is to make that choice easier by creating the empathy, nurturance and safety that allows you to freely explore the life situation that brings you to therapy. In that environment, I aim to help you experience a healing process that will restore hope, health and vitality to your life. I believe that almost all of us have the organic capacity to heal and fulfill our potential, but that past experiences have taught us dysfunctional ways to cope. The goal of therapy is to learn new ways of being so that we attain greater health, peace of mind and joy.

Is it time? To reach out for help? Or can you go a little longer white-knuckling it through your life? You have made it this far, right. Dragging yourself through each day. Some days are better than others, but for the most part life is a drag. Everyone else seems happy. Did they get a handbook to life that you didn't get? The littlest thing can trigger you. You are irritable on the outside, sad on the inside. You spend more and more time at home because spending time with friends or family takes too much energy. Franky, you just don't want to deal. There has to be more to life. If only you had the tools to get it.

I'm a licensed professional counselor originally from Dublin, Ireland. Two key components of my practice are the teachings of Pia Mellody and laughter. I believe therapy is a collaborative process whereby together we can find what issues are hindering you from being the best version of you and develop a skill set to help you overcome these blocks. I practice therapy through a trauma focused lens using the model of codependence, EMDR, SE & polyvagal theory. I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment for you to embark on your journey, with a few laughs along the way.

If you find yourself frequently feeling overwhelmed, struggling in your relationships or using alcohol, drugs, sex, food, exercise, pornography, or other types of behaviors to help deal with the highs or lows. If you look outside of yourself for validation or a sense of self, or the ways that you've learned how to deal with life are no longer working. It is possible to connect with yourself, experience your emotions in a healthy way, and feel intimate or balanced. Feeling more secure in yourself and the events of the past is achievable.

Chances are you've already tried to fix your relationship. The same arguments keep coming back. Or you've stopped arguing entirely and the distance is worse. Maybe you're not even sure you want to repair it, and the uncertainty itself is exhausting. Maybe you tried therapy before and it was too slow, too passive, or spent too much time on feelings and not enough on changing anything.
My approach is different. Our sessions are structured, the work is specific, and you'll know exactly what you're working on and why each step of the way. You'll have a clear direction, a defined timeline, and skills that actually hold.

You and your partner keep having the same argument, stuck in a cycle that leaves you feeling disconnected and misunderstood. Maybe one of you pushes for connection while the other shuts down, or maybe every conversation turns into tension, resentment, or silence. You’ve tried talking it out, reading the relationship books, even weekly therapy—but nothing seems to stick. That’s because real change doesn’t come from surface-level fixes. It comes from deep understanding of your patterns, regulating emotions, and learning a new way to connect.

Many of the people I work with appear successful and resilient on the outside but struggle with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, shame, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Others find themselves repeating patterns in relationships, work, or recovery despite wanting change. Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and survival strategies may be shaping the present. Through a compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach, I help clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a stronger connection to what matters most.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
