Dr. Lynn Lampert

The first time I met Dr. L I immediately felt comfortable. She was a trusted confidant - really the only person I had that I could talk to. She would listen to me objectively without judgement. She provided me with great insight and was able to help guide me through many life challenges and transitions including family, career, motherhood, weight struggles, and a long-distance marriage.

Not only was she focused on repairing my mental health, but she was a great source of advice and offered sound referrals on diet & exercise, hormones, and even specialists for my son. She challenged me to have a voice. She calmed my fears, and she helped restore my confidence.

Finally, and possibly most importantly, Im so grateful that Dr. L was in my life during an unexpected challenge with my marriage. She was instrumental in guiding me and ultimately my husband through difficulties that I never thought we would have to face. We are now strong and focused on our future.

There are so many words to describe you. Compassionate, kind, caring, resilient, dedicated, funny, smart, youthful, and so much more. If I had to set an intention on one word I would say Healer. So I wanted to put that intention on a My Intent bracelet. Like the quote I sent you says “A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer so that you may heal yourself”. You totally held that space for me and, most importantly, you made that space safe. And I know, hands down, that is why I feel the healing on a deeper level lately. In the beginning, as I moved through therapy, I felt my wounds opening up again and that was really painful. But you’ve helped me learn how to heal them the right way this time. It’s scary and empowering all at the same time accepting that they are there and learning to not be afraid to look at them.

Dr. Rosen, I don’t know where I would be without you. I know I have done a lot of work but I also know you were holding my hand for so much of it. I cannot imagine going on this journey with anyone else. What an intimate process it is to have someone helping you understand your true self. If I’ve run out of ways to say thank you, then all I can do is let you know how much our therapy bond means to me. It means more than you know.

Lynn is an extraordinary woman. We are and will always be grateful to her for helping us overcome one of the greatest hurdles a marriage and family could ever experience. Because of Lynn we are stronger, healthier, more secure and happier than weve ever been. Her patience and time with us helped us see past the past. She taught us how to overcome communication barriers and trauma, to emerge renewed and whole again. We are lucky to know her.

I cant think of a good enough word to express my gratitude so I will simply say, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me and holding my hand. Thank you for all the gifts youve given me: the ones you know you gave and the ones you didnt know you gave. Thank you for believing that I could get here and for your patience. I know I have more to do but Im so happy Ive made it this far I could hug myself - (and you!). Thank you for everything youve done and for all your help. Even more, thank you so much for everything that you are. But most importantly, thank you for everything that you are to me.

Healing with her was different than the other therapists I had dealt with. She promised to keep my secrets, only telling my parents what I was comfortable with. For a suspicious teenager who had been disappointed in life, this was a beacon. She kept her word. I didnt feel the need to lie and hide - I was able to share without judgement. It took me years of work to heal. Shaking hands and toppling panic. I was guided through recovery. My hands are still now. I feel tall, and while I may not always be in control I know that I won. I know now that I have the power to heal again. That in itself is my recovery and it was worth the fight.

So with God in the center of our marriage, Dr. Rosen counseling us and never giving up on us, the right people in our lives and both of our willingness to make the marriage work, we have now been married for three and a half years, built a home together and are expecting our first child this summer. We could never thank her enough for the encouragement, dedication, patience and perseverance she showed us during our year of counseling.
