Codependency Therapists in San Marcos, CA
I love working with and specialize in helping clients who struggle with perfectionism, people pleasing, and codependency.
I help these clients explore how their childhood traumas relate to their mental health struggles. I use EMDR, Inner-Child Work, CBT, Somatic Therapy, and Forgiveness Therapy to help clients resolve core negative beliefs. This foundational way of healing trauma allows clients to be able to let go of negative beliefs that result in unhealthy coping patterns.

Sometimes it takes a point-of-view outside your circle to see things differently, more clearly, or with different ideas of how to make change happen. My clients come in seeking guidance on how to do life better - how to communicate, or how to understand their value & purpose in the world or just at home. New insight, new tools, support & encouragement can make all the difference when you take the necessary step to care for yourself and ultimately, give your relationships the very best you.

I work with individuals to improve their mental health and well-being. This is often focused around concerns with anxiety, depression, life transitions, career and school stress, grief/ loss, and pregnancy/ postpartum issues. I am extremely passionate about supporting maternal mental health and young adults finding their way.
In therapy, I believe the most important factor is the relationship between therapist and client. Therefore, I work from a collaborative, empathic, and nonjudgmental approach to assist you with gaining insight and finding solutions for the challenges you are facing.

I have specialized training in EMDR therapy to help clients process trauma and difficult life experiences, as well as Somatic Therapy techniques to support nervous system regulation and the mind-body connection. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, infertility, chronic illness, grief, depression, relationship issues and life transitions.
Losing my brother at a young age, navigating infertility, and living with a complex chronic illness have shaped the way I show up as a therapist — with compassion, humility, and a genuine understanding that healing is rarely linear.

You may have been thinking about finding a therapist for some time, but stress, anxiety and everyday demands have made it hard to prioritize your own care. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, caught in patterns with food, relationships, or behaviors that no longer serve them. Some come without fully realizing how much unresolved loss or emotional pain is influencing their lives. Together we will explore how to move away from unhealthy patterns and into a more fulfilling, meaningful life.

You may be navigating overwhelm, grief, depression, trauma, narcissistic abuse recovery, uncertainty, or a sense of disconnection on your journey toward feeling more whole.

I strive to offer a space where you feel seen, heard, and safe to heal, explore meaning, and reconnect with hope and purpose.

My name is Ronda Jacobs LMFT. I offer an authentic healing person centered approach, treating the whole person, not just your symptoms. My goal is to make you feel safe, comfortable, and like you are speaking to a friend; someone who knows and understands you on a deeper level that can help unlock your truest potential.
Sometimes we need an outside observer and a safe space to explore parts of ourselves in order to heal, evolve, and gain perspective. I believe in divine intervention, and that we all have an “inner voice” or intuition that whispers guidance or insights about a situation, including our own emotions and needs.

Codependency Therapists
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.
