You work hard to juggle life’s demands and keep everyone afloat. You seem to have it all together, but inside might feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by self-doubt. Maybe your relationships feel strained, or you’re stuck in patterns that leave you unseen or disconnected. The strategies that once helped, like staying busy, being dependable, striving for perfection, or putting others first, may come with increasing costs. Left unexamined, these patterns can quietly leave you depleted or invisible. Therapy can help. I’m a Clinical Psychologist in Danville, CA, offering in-person and virtual therapy for adults.

Did you grow up feeling like you had to take care of everyone else—emotionally or even physically—while your own needs were overlooked? Maybe your parents were distant, unpredictable, or left you feeling unheard and invisible. You might notice patterns of over-explaining, people-pleasing, or feeling anxious in relationships, even when nothing is wrong. Or perhaps you feel numb, disconnected, or weighed down by memories you can't quite shake. These are common experiences and you don't have to navigate this alone—healing is possible, and your story matters.

I see people wanting to heal codependency, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, childhood neglect and trauma, gender and sexuality.
Are you wanting to be more true to who you are but do not know if it is possible? Do you often repress your desires and ignore your needs? Does this end up making you feel stuck, unhappy, hopeless, sad, frustrated, depressed and/or anxious? Whether you were raised by people who failed to see you and support you, or in a culture that oppressed you, it is important that you do not give up. You deserve to prioritize yourself and be who you are truly meant to be.

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.
