Family Counseling Therapists in Broomfield, CO

Would you like to gain personal power, meet your potential, live and enjoy your life? I am here to assist you to empower yourself in your everyday life and make needed changes; whether it's in a relationship,career/job, marriage, or family . I will provide you with a positive, safe, non-judgmental environment where we will work together to achieve realistic goals that are uniquely important to you.

I work especially with people who struggle with their intimate and social relationships, who suffer from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm, insomnia, chronic pain, or chronic illness, or with those who need more support, more positivity, help starting a career, or a better process of coping in their life due to a stressful moment or transition. I see clients of all ages, as well as couples and families .

I view counseling as a collaborative experience that allows teens, individuals, couples, and families alike to learn valuable life skills and insights in order to grow, increase emotional awareness, and highlight strengths. My goal is to help all my clients discover their most authentic selves while also providing meaningful perspectives on potential solutions to the problems they face.

You may feel trapped in a violent and/or unhealthy relationship or traumatic memories of the past. Your may be grieving a loss and what might have been. You may feel stagnant and that your life is out of balance. Possibly you are a family member of an offender and you don't understand the "system" and how to help while taking care of yourself. Likely you are feeling isolated and alone. Overwhelming emotions may be paralyzing you, making it hard to move forward. You will find a safe place with me to move through and beyond this difficult time. You do not have to struggle alone.

Life presents opportunities for change and we all have the ability to grow from this change though self discovery. I believe that although change is inevitable, it takes courage to be active in guiding change toward personal growth. My goal is to create an environment where real and sustained growth is possible.

I believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to live their best life! My style is warm, compassionate, humorous and direct which helps clients in the therapeutic process to achieve the success they desire. I am skilled at helping clients to identify barriers in their life and how to get through them. I am a strong believer that growth is possible no matter the circumstance. Whether you are struggling with a lifelong problem, parenting or relationship issues, a recent life changing event, or the stress and anxiety of everyday life, I can help. www.lynnewillbankslpc.com

I help families of teens go from worry and anxiety to renewed connection and happiness. We all want our kids to be happy, and it’s hard to watch them struggle. Our teens face the same adolescent challenges we did (intense emotions & feeling "different," without having the long-range view adulthood brings)--but they also navigate the additional stress of violence (school shootings), grief (rising suicide rates), exposure (social media) and non-stop accessibility (smartphones + internet). While our teens wrestle with anxiety and feel alone, parents worry they could lose their kid to depression, mental health issues, or even suicide.

Relationships create the foundation of our lives. They can bring us joy, love, and laughter. They can also trigger old wounds and create confusion, frustration, and pain. We can feel disconnected from those we love, especially if we or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, depression or the after effects of trauma. If you’re concerned about your intimate relationship, teenager, or family , I can help. With a compassionate approach to healing and practical tools, you and your loved ones can experience better communication, increased closeness and a stronger connection.

I knew I wanted to work with teenagers when I was 13 years old. I remember feeling misunderstood (a feeling I imagine many are familiar with). The passion that derived from that feeling at age 13 never left. I specialize in working with youth, ages 12-24 who have experienced trauma, loss, substance use, bullying, behavioral issues, low self-esteem, abuse, neglect, and interactions with the legal system.

Are you struggling with the way you parent? Do you feel overwhelmed by guilt and shame? Do you feel disconnect from your family ? Is your teen struggling emotionally? Are you at a loss of what to do? Are you looking to dig in deep to find the root to your depression, anxiety, self esteem and family conflict? If you are ready to live a life of intention instead of reaction, if you are ready to release yourself from your internal critic, if you are ready to show up as the parent you dreamed you’d be then give me a call today!

I will provide individual, couples and family therapy to anyone seeking guidance. Regardless of your concerns, I will provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to address your needs so that you can find a new perspective that will help you. When I provide couples counseling I begin with learning about you as a couple why you were attracted to each other. Then we work together to figure out what got lost that brought you to seek out counseling. I am a Level 2 PACT therapist, based on the teachings of Dr. Stan Tatkin.

Every one of us experiences seasons in life when we feel completely overwhelmed by our circumstances and are unable to just "shake it off." This might be especially true in the aftermath of a crisis, a stressful event or traumatic experience (such as loss of a job, the death of a loved one, a broken relationship, an accident). Have you ever found yourself longing for someone to understand your feelings of grief, anger, sadness and confusion in the midst of such a situation? Someone to help you get back to "normal?" You are not alone; there is someone here who will listen, encourage, and walk right beside you in your darkest hours.

As a therapist, I am passionate about creating a safe, accepting environment where clients of all ages are free to discover, explore and live out of their most authentic selves. It is my desire to support both adolescents and adults in their journey toward growth and healing so that they may find balance and joy in their lives.

During this time, being overwhelmed and living with so much uncertainty makes managing daily life (work, homeschooling, relationships, household) a huge challenge. Connecting with someone outside your family can help you manage overwhelming emotions, triggers, stress, and gain much-needed clarity. Carve out 20 mins for a free consultation.

Accepting new clients. Are you experiencing marital problems? ​Did you have a storybook wedding and now you find your relationship is not full of love and joy? Or would you like to improve troubled relationships with your children of other family  members? Or perhaps you'd like to learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations?

Do you or someone in your family struggle to communicate? Have you found that there has been withdrawing and isolating in the home? Does there seem to be a wall when it comes to understanding yourself or someone else? It can be so difficult to get on the same page and begin the healing process in these types of situations. I specialize in working with individuals and couples, and I am passionate about coming alongside of people as they seek to find healing, satisfaction, and meaning in life and their relationships.

Life does not always go according to plan. We experience many things that are outside of our control, but they leave a lasting impact on us as human beings. Life is a journey that is not meant to be walked alone, but instead in relationships and with vulnerability and openness. Therapy is an opportunity to build skills and resources to process and navigate life's everyday challenges. Asking for help and finding someone to share your burden with is a great show of strength and courage! For the quickest response please visit my web page and fill out a contact form.
