Lana Isaacson, LCSW, CAS | Couples & Individual Therapist | EFT Certified

My mission is to inspire you to become a relationship hero!

You have the power to transform your life and the lives of future generations.

Most people cannot achieve this on their own. I am consistently inspired by my clients’ courage, brave efforts, and remarkable growth.

I have been married for more than twenty years and am the mother of a wonderful son and a cherished school-age adopted daughter. I understand that I didn’t achieve 20 years of marriage by chance or luck.

My spouse and I reached this milestone in part because of tenacity, trial and error, and, most of all, a willingness to “do the work.”

As a result, we both feel our relationship is stronger and more fulfilling. We are fortunate to live in a time when actual research (a road map) is available to guide couples in developing secure, healthy bonds.

I understand the challenges mothers face working outside the home.

Having been a full-time mom for my son’s first two years (after working outside the home), I greatly respect stay-at-home parents.

I strive to balance fulfilling work, family time, couple time, and self-care/spiritual growth.

There are seasons when I juggle it all quite well, but at other times, life feels messy and challenging, requiring more support and humor!

Featured on the Valiant Living Podcast

When both partners need to heal: Navigating recovery together.

Lana and Jason chat about helping couples navigate substance use and getting better together.

Lana, drawing from her Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) background, explains how challenging addictive patterns can help partners connect more deeply when they face them as a team.

She also discusses this concept called "the addiction dance," which refers to the unconscious, not-so-great patterns that couples fall into without even realizing it.

Real words from real clients

Trying to make your relationship what you dreamed it would be is the most rewarding project in the world!

So many married couples live day to day, thinking their marriage is something to put up with. Lana helped us see how good a marriage COULD be and is supposed to be. Fulfillment is at your fingertips if you just have the right tools.

What we appreciate about working with Lana is that she is so open and non-judgmental and a great listener. Very non-threatening to both partners!

Lana listened to both of us so well and always stayed positive and focused on what strengths we were bringing and how to strengthen the weaknesses.

Parent, Denver metro

I had lost a great girlfriend because I had worries about moving forward while raising two kids. I was in a kind of default mode since things were going well with my kids and I feared changing things. I also didn’t want to lose my girlfriend again so I agreed to try couples therapy.

I had fears that therapy would suck.

I didn’t like talking about difficult issues and I thought counseling would be that on steroids. I thought I should be able to understand and fix anything all by myself.

I also thought it may go psycho babble or hippy dippy. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. It has massively improved my life and the benefits stay with you going forward. If I could wish for something it would be that the negative stigma (especially among men) around therapy would disappear.

To make an analogy…I was trying to build something with no training and without the correct tools. Lana gave us perspective, the training , and toolbox to get the job done right.

I was taught how to keep my saw sharp and tuned properly, how to clean and adjust the carburetor and change the spark plug. In other words, the progress was largely around learning the ingredients of a secure functioning relationship.

Defining things and learning the proper terms made it fun and easy to communicate and achieve defined goals. I wasn’t born knowing these things. It’s okay to be taught how to keep your relationship in good working order. Today we are married and closer than I ever thought possible.

Do it!

My husband and I have been married for 6 years and have two wonderful children. We sought Lana’s support when my husband was having difficulty with depression.

He was struggling so much that he almost entirely isolated himself and stopped communicating with me. My heart was completely broken because while I was trying everything to be supportive of him and also take care of myself and our kids, he was completely unpleasant and unable to talk to me.

I was desperate to try to get help. Nothing I tried worked, which began to lead to feelings of hopelessness. I honestly thought he wanted a divorce.

Lana guided us through the darkness we had been experiencing for months by helping my husband and I talk through the conflicts we had been facing and had us practice various exercises.

After seeking couples therapy with Lana, I have literally fallen in love with my husband all over again. With her guidance, we have learned so much about ourselves and each other.

We have come to such a wonderful place in our relationship where each day we are fostering greater understanding, respect, trust, friendship, and love. We have grown so much and established a renewed sense of commitment

The exercises we did in sessions spurred conversations we never would have had on our own. Lana helped us realize we can be partners for life.

We were not sure we were going to make it as a couple, yet Lana has been able to get us to a place of open communication that we didn’t achieve after 4 years of dating

My husband and I sought therapy because of trust issues. I asked Lana if there was hope for us at the end of our first session.

Lana’s belief in us and our willingness to do the couples recovery work helped my husband and me make great progress in restoring trust.

I had an amazing experience with Lana and am forever grateful.
