I focus my work on couples and therapy with adult individuals. I graduated from Stanford in 2002 and received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in 2007. I also have a post-masters certification in Marriage and Family Therapy from Denver Family Institute as well as training in a couples model of therapy called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I am committed to intersectionality and creating safe spaces for marginalized identities. I have extensive experience working with childhood trauma, relationship wounds, and emotional distress. My therapy is inclusive, affirming, authentic and transformative.

Experienced as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I believe that psychological development continues throughout life and that effective therapy is forward-looking. Therapy not only offers opportunities to relieve symptoms of distress and to recover from maladaptive patterns of functioning, but it offers chances for new beginnings. I believe that effective treatment is based on an understanding of the unique circumstances of an individual, respects the need for confidentiality, and fosters a collaborative effort that facilitates psychological development.

I am a playful and warm-hearted therapist. Authenticity is my love language! As your therapist, I will provide honest & direct feedback, always coupled with kindness and support. I value humor & deep connections. I prefer to be active & dynamic during our sessions, rather than just a passive listener. I have tattoos. Colorful language is welcome in my room. And I love a good meme. I am a mixed-race, queer, neurodivergent woman. I am particularly dedicated to supporting neurodivergent, queer and trans individuals / couples on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. I truly love and honor being a safe space for others.

Life can be SO hard, but it can get better! Struggling with life or a relationship? Are you struggling with ANXIETY, depression, or a "transition" from empty-nest, the pain of divorce, parenting issues, loneliness, purpose, and other life-stressors? I was a child of divorce, a stay-at-home mom for 20 years before becoming a counselor, and married since 1983. I work with all couples struggling to stay together and find themselves drifting apart. I also work with parenting issues and teen life struggles. My office is a SAFE place to work through the issues of life that get us all down! Let's start!

Navigating marriage and relationships can pose significant challenges. I assist clients across various facets of their lives, including conflict management, financial concerns, commitment issues, sex therapy, communication problems, and navigating divorce. Even if your marriage seems strained, seeking professional guidance can provide you with the necessary tools to cultivate joy within your relationship. The prospect of divorce can leave one feeling directionless, without closure or support. I offer assistance in transitioning towards a brighter future, as there's always more to life beyond this single experience.

Life throws us challenges, big and small. And sometimes we need someone to help us along the way. Are you someone who is struggling with depression, anxiety, perinatal/postpartum, parenting a child with higher needs, fertility issues, or low self-esteem/self-worth? Maybe you're struggling in your marriage/relationship or relationships in general. Or maybe you're going through a life transition that isn't what you expected and/or is challenging. Either way, you deserve brighter days and a quality of life that you are okay with.

Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and healing! I am Lynette Garber, a dedicated and compassionate licensed social worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate. I strive to help individuals navigate the complexities of their mental and emotional well-being. My focus is to incorporate compassion and humor to help build self-awareness, resiliency and freedom from unhealthy patterns and past pains.

The issues which I enjoy working with the most are those related to relationships and family dynamics. One of the areas of most interest to me is working with individuals who are coming out of a relationship with a partner who had narcissistic personality traits. I became licensed as a marriage and family therapist in 1998 and have worked as a family therapist in substance abuse treatment programs, residential treatment programs for children and adolescents, and residential treatment programs for women. I also work with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma.

I help clients see that change and growth are an inside job. When people feel unhappy they often look to other people, career, money and substances to make them feel better. This doesn't work long-term and only creates dependencies that harm them. For many, struggles are rooted in childhood experiences with less than ideal parenting and attachment patterns. Helping my clients to resolve and move past family of origin wounds, identify and eliminate destructive beliefs from their childhood and the behavior created from these beliefs, allows clients the ability to embrace their own lives and opens the door into joy & personal freedom.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Denver and Boulder. Additionally, I received Marriage and Family Therapy training at Denver Family Institute where I worked extensively with couples, individuals, and families on damaging relationship patterns, strengthening emotional connections, and communication skills. I have extensive work with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, polyamory, consensual non monogamy, out of control sexual behavior, kink, and many other sex related issues. I also love to use spirituality & mindfulness such as meditative & grounding techniques.

I work with clients who want to improve their relationships, whether they are just hitting some bumps in the road or are on the brink of splitting up. I also use my expertise with couples to help individuals struggling to find and maintain healthy relationships, and those who want to work on their relationship but whose partner isn't yet ready. I don't just work with couples occasionally - relationships are my specialty. This includes working with relationships impacted by substance abuse or addiction. For couples considering divorce, I offer Discernment Counseling to help you gain clarity about next steps in your marriage.

It can be very overwhelming trying to find someone that can understand and support you. I work hard to provide really effective support. Here is an example of some of the feedback from a recent client struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships issues, & self esteem: "Having worked with many therapists over the years I still felt at a loss and unheard...The skills Don is helping me build and recognize have had an insightful impact providing glimpses of hope within myself. Thank you for working and believing in me Don." In 2020 my clients reported 91% satisfaction with their therapy and would recommend this service to others.

At times in the human journey, maintaining a balanced life becomes challenging. I believe therapy is a valuable resource that can help restore a sense of well-being. As a psychotherapist, I am dedicated to fostering an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance, and empowerment. My therapeutic orientation draws from humanistic, transpersonal, and somatic depth-oriented theories. I am passionate about integrating mindfulness as a pathway to greater self-awareness and cultivating compassion.
