How Can Thriveworks Houston Help Me?

The therapists at Thriveworks Houston may employ one, or a mix, of the following therapies to treat the symptoms of codependency-related issues:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): This therapy aims to identify and change maladaptive thoughts and behaviors associated with codependency, promoting healthier patterns of thinking and relating to others.
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT helps individuals learn skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal relationships, and setting boundaries, which are often challenges for those struggling with codependency.
• Schema therapy: This approach explores underlying beliefs and patterns developed in childhood that contribute to codependent behaviors, helping individuals challenge and reframe these schemas to develop healthier relationship dynamics.
• Twelve-step programs: Participation in programs such as Codependents Anonymous (CoDA) provides support, guidance, and a sense of community for individuals seeking to recover from codependency through a structured program of self-awareness and personal growth.
• Family therapy: Involving family members in therapy can address relational dynamics and patterns that contribute to codependency, fostering healthier communication, boundaries, and support systems within the family unit.
• Mindfulness-based therapy: Practices such as mindfulness meditation and self-compassion exercises can help individuals develop greater self-awareness, acceptance, and emotional regulation, reducing codependent tendencies and promoting self-care.
