Codependency can be a symptom of an underlying mental illness where the client sacrifices their own self-worth or makes unreasonable compromises to appease others, such as romantic partners, family members, and co-workers. An uncontrolled, excessive desire to help others at the cost of self-care can develop into intense physical and emotional problems, and it can drive away others as well. La Ventana’s treatment centers in Thousand Oaks and Agoura Hills can create and administer custom treatment plans for clients seeking to break their codependent behaviors.
