Relationship Issues

Build relationships rooted in balance, authenticity, and mutual care.

A Space to Understand, Not Just to Blame or Fix

Relationships are where we often feel both our deepest connection and our deepest pain. You might find yourself giving too much, losing your sense of self, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. Therapy isn’t about labeling your relationships as “good” or “bad.” It’s about understanding what drives the way you relate — the fears, hopes, and early experiences that shape how you love and what you expect from others.

At Ian Vogt Psychotherapy, therapy for relationship issues offers a space to look beneath the surface of conflict and codependency.

Real change begins when you understand the story behind your patterns.

Understanding the Roots of Codependency and Connection

Codependency often begins with care — the instinct to help, to please, to stay connected — but over time, it can turn into self-erasure. You might measure your worth by how others feel about you or find it hard to express needs without guilt or anxiety. Through psychodynamic and relational therapy, we’ll uncover where these patterns started — often in early relationships where love felt conditional or unpredictable. This process isn’t about pulling away from others; it’s about learning to stay connected without losing yourself. Over time, you’ll develop a steadier sense of self — one that can hold both intimacy and independence with compassion.
