Walk The Road To The New You
Welcome to Dr Nicholas Jenner’s online therapy hub dedicated to codependent recovery. Explore the wealth of resources available to start your path to recovery.
WHO IS IT FOR?
If you suffer from some or all of the following, you could be codependent: low self-esteem, people pleasing, poor boundary setting, caretaking, control issues, dysfunctional communication style, problems with intimacy, denial and painful emotions. Therapy can help people understand why they overcompensate, fulfill everyone’s needs but their own, or put themselves last.

THE THERAPY HUB
On-Demand Therapy
Join me for a 13-week audio codependency recovery program dedicated to addressing codependency issues, offering practical guidance and insights to enrich your journey towards well-being and recovery.
Group Therapy
As a codependent, it is easy to feel alone with the issues that keep you trapped in specific thinking patterns. Sometimes, it is good to share this with others in the same situation. Online group therapy can do this.
Individual Therapy
Codependency symptoms are as individual as you are and special solutions need to be found. Individual therapy is tailored made to your issues in an action based program. Free initial 60 minute consultation.

Healing from Codependency: Essential Therapy Techniques
The most important part of the above process is to find a therapist who has taken his or her own journey to interdependency and understands the steps needed. It is always prudent to ask a therapist about his or own co-dependent issues and how they were handled.
Group Therapy Begins Again July 27th, 2025: Plus Free Access To Dr Jenner’s Codependency Self-Help Program (worth 390 USD)
Codependency recovery is deeply personal—but it doesn’t have to be done alone. In fact, group therapy has the potential to transform the healing journey in profound ways. While individual therapy offers valuable insight, something truly powerful happens when people come together with shared experiences and open hearts.
The Psychological Roots of Relationship Addiction and Codependency
I read a lot of self-help books and they are mostly all the same. Change your thinking and change your life. Still, there is one book that I have returned to many times. It is not technically in the self-help genre, more technical, but it holds information essential to understanding how we see relationships.
Breaking Free from Codependency: Join My Free Live Q&A! Sunday 13th April 2025 12pm EST
In this live Q&A, I will be answering questions about all things codependency, relationships, and overcoming destructive habits. Whether you’re in the early stages of self-awareness or are actively pursuing healing, this session will be beneficial for you. Whether you’re struggling with a romantic relationship, family dynamics, or friendships, this is your space to ask, learn, and grow.
If You Are Codependent. Go on! Just Do It!
So you can perhaps understand why codependents especially, find change hard. They have no reason to change because change will, in their minds, confront them with their worst fears and for them even a bad relationship is better than none and the fear of being alone.
Understanding Codependency: Communication Challenges
What I am saying here is that communication in relationships is hard enough. We are all incompatible until we do the work to become as compatible as possible. This is not a natural process but if you add codependency into the mix, it suddenly becomes much more difficult. Especially, as stated earlier, with someone who is a natural dysfunctional fit.
