Barbara Lankamp LMFT

I am an attachment informed therapist. I aim to help you understand how past relationships shape your present day experiences in interpersonal interactions. I enjoy helping individuals navigate relationships of all kinds, including: romantic partnerships, marriage, divorce, online dating, friendships and workplace dynamics.

Many of my clients are considering divorce or are navigating a recent break up. While I do not specialize in matters pertaining to custody or legal matters, the emphasis of my work is to help clients better understand their attachment styles and to develop skills to secure their attachment style. I help clients navigate their decision to remain single or to pursue healthy relationships that better suit their attachment needs.

Feeling anxious, panicky, and developing obsessive compulsive tendencies can be a reasonable response to trauma and stress. I utilize EMDR among other approaches to help clients understand and ease the physical and emotional experiences of anxiety and anxiety related conditions.

My work is rooted in attachment theory. I aim to help clients build secure attachments. In addition to my work with clients, I have taught courses on Developmental Psychology as well as Family Dynamics at the Masters Level.

I am trained in EMDR and utilize this modality with clients who have suffered an acute trauma as well as with adult clients who have struggled with attachment, trauma or childhood trauma.

Many of my clients are considering divorce or are navigating a relationship break up. While I do not specialize in custody issues or legal matters, the focus of my work is to help clients understand their attachment style and navigate this life transition. Whether choosing to enjoy life as a single person or seeking to enter a new relationship that that suits their attachment needs, divorce can be incredibly emotional journey

I began my career under the supervision of a therapist who used an IFS approach. Years later, I still enjoy helping clients identify and welcome all parts of themselves.
