Codependency Therapists in Sun City, AZ
With a decade of working in residential care facilities, I specialize in treating eating disorders, addiction, PTSD, codependency & mood disorders.
In Buddhist philosophy, "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." The story of the Buddha and the two arrows explains this well – while the first arrow may cause physical or emotional pain, the second arrow is one’s reaction to it – the self-talk, the self-blame, and negative thoughts that amplify the pain. Counseling can help you put down the second arrow and transform your suffering into growth, learning and resilience.

You can see that something is off with your teen, even if they can’t fully explain it themselves. The mood swings, the stress, the everyday challenges… you can tell they’re overwhelmed. Changes in friendships, family dynamics, academic pressure, and uncertainty about the future leave them unsteady and worn down. They want independence, yet they still need reassurance and guidance – and that tension makes them shut down and shut you out. You know they’re carrying more than they can handle, but it’s a struggle to find support they’ll actually trust, engage with, and feel safe opening up to without fear of judgment.

I employ a cross theoretical approach to get to the root causes that lead clients to make poor choices and into destructive, self-defeating behaviors that foster depression, anxiety, sleep problems, fractured relationships, and often substance use. Many clients have had traumatic childhood experiences that prevented healthy emotional development and are frustrated and confused when attempting to express themselves in adulthood, unable to understand what went wrong.
I provide encouragement and support to clients as they strive to replace unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones. I work with couples and individuals 13 y.o. and up.

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.
