"My partner and I have been seeing Lynn Blanton now for a month. Life is so much better for both of us now. Lynn

 

has helped us to contain our issues inside of therapy sessions. By doing this, she has largely freed us from the constant drain of having to deal with issues on our own on a daily basis.

  - K.M., Folsom, CA

"A few years ago, my wifeand I went to Lynn to work on our marriage  By the end of our first session, Lynn precisely identified our most important issue which needed immediate attention, and offered us a viable solution.  In subsequent sessions, Lynn gave us information on how to productively deal with conflicts.  I would highly recommend Lynn as an excellent counselor.
  - R.W., Folsom, CA

 "Though my wife and I have seen Lynn for four sessions, we are doing remarkably better with our marriage.  When we encounter struggles within the marriage, we just agree to put the issue on the docket for the upoming therapy session, and go on with our life.  This has allowed us to live our lives much more freely while knowing we are not just sweeping things under the carpet.  We know that we will deal with the issues at the next session.  We are able to actually listen to each other far better outside of sessions as well.  Lynn is a true professional, and she is outstanding in her field."
