Nassau Counseling Services Offers Support for Codependency and Relationship Recovery Across Long Island
Relationships are an important part of emotional well-being. But not all relationships are balanced, and some patterns – especially those involving codependency can become emotionally exhausting, confusing, or unsustainable.
Codependency can affect anyone, whether you are currently in a relationship or not, and often develops over time due to past experiences, trauma, or learned coping strategies. At Nassau Counseling Services, we provide therapy for individuals struggling with codependency. We offer a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can gain insight into your relationship patterns, build emotional independence, and begin developing healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Our office is located in Wantagh, NY, and we serve clients in surrounding areas such as Bellmore, Massapequa, Levittown, Freeport, and throughout Long Island. If you’re ready to begin working on your relationship with yourself and others, we encourage you to reach out at (516) 993-5896, or fill out our contact form and a member of our team will get in touch.

What Is Codependency and How Can Therapy Help?
Codependency is a behavioral pattern where a person becomes overly focused on the needs of others while neglecting their own. It often includes difficulty setting boundaries, low self-esteem, people-pleasing behaviors, and a sense of identity that is heavily dependent on the emotions or approval of others.
In relationships, codependency can be especially damaging. It can cause people to lose their identity, allow others to take advantage of them, or even push people away. Every relationship is different, but maintaining a sense of individuality is an important part of any successful couple, and that may mean addressing codependency issues.
You do not need to be in a current relationship to struggle with codependency. These patterns can exist in families, friendships, and even work environments. At Nassau Counseling Services, we work with individuals to:
- Understand the root causes of codependent behavior
- Break out of unhealthy emotional cycles
- Build self-esteem and a stronger sense of self
- Learn how to set and maintain healthy boundaries
- Develop emotional resilience and independence
- Feel more comfortable meeting your own emotional needs
Therapy for codependency is not about blaming yourself or others – it’s about recognizing where you’ve been, understanding what has influenced your behaviors, and learning how to move forward with more clarity and control over your life and relationships.
Our Approach to Codependency Therapy
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches that are tailored to your specific situation. These may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge negative thought patterns
- Attachment-based approaches to understand the impact of early relationships
- Mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies to stay grounded in your own needs
- Assertiveness and boundary-setting techniques to strengthen interpersonal communication
- Exploration of self-worth and self-identity outside of relationships
We focus on helping you reconnect with yourself so that your relationships become more supportive, mutual, and emotionally healthy. Whether your goal is to improve your current relationship, heal from past patterns, or prepare for future healthy connections, our therapists are here to support you through that process.
