Codependency Therapists in Spring Lake Park, MN
I work with people making decisions about their relationships, including: discernment counseling; narcissistic, borderline, or emotionally distant partners; recovering from betrayal or infidelity or abuse; codependency and losing a sense of self; setting boundaries and speaking up; repeating painful relationship patterns; shame and attachment; non-traditional relationship structures; spirituality
Are you tired of therapists who say that they do relationship therapy only to have you practice basic communication skills? Are you tired of the lack of progress and want to get unstuck once and for all? I specialize in making sure that time does continue to pass by while you are feeling weighed down in the status quo. I'm straightforward and honest. My clients describe me as annoyingly neutral when they try to get me to take sides against their partners. They also describe me as willing to ask the hard questions and willing to keep people accountable. I love helping people navigate every stage of coupling or uncoupling.

People who have experienced specific traumas work well with me, as do those who have struggled for a long time with hard-to-define, deep-seated patterns of thinking, feeling and relating.
As a therapist I have some annoying tendencies. I think everything you say and do is meaningful (especially when you deny it), I always suspect you are caught up in some feeling or other about me, and I often answer questions with questions. If you can put up with it, you’ll gain a compassionate listener and ally. You’ll also quickly get a sense of the freedom and peace that can be achieved through the type of therapy I practice - psychoanalysis.

People find themselves struggling with something that is making life more difficult than it needs to be. Maybe friends and family aren't there for you anymore, or they just can't understand what is happening with you.

You want a good counselor. So, now that you know that, how do you choose one?

It seems inevitable that at some point in everyone's life, the thread that connects us to our deepest center becomes frayed or lost. We may experience this as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, physical illness, feeling "stuck", and more. These symptoms are messengers of the soul and can lead us to that deep place where healing and transformation can occur. Our psyche also speaks to us through joy, a sense of "calling," intuitions, synchronicities, talents, etc... but often we listen best to pain. Together, we can rediscover your authentic Self and access your own wellspring of healing.

I specialize in working with individuals who carry the invisible weight of early relational trauma, often expressed through anxiousness, low self-worth, body image struggles, codependency, and nervous system dysregulation.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by a constant need to manage others’ emotions, saying “yes” when you mean “no,” or stuck in patterns that leave you feeling unseen or unheard. If you find yourself navigating hypervigilance, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a deep fear of abandonment, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

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.
