Darlene Lancer
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | Relationship and Codependency Expert
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and relationship and codependency expert. For over 30 years, I’ve been providing self-esteem and codependency counseling, helping countless women and men recover from codependency and trauma. I have authored several bestselling books, including Codependency for Dummies and Conquering Shame and Codependency: 8 Steps to Freeing the True You. My latest book, Dating, Loving, and Leaving a Narcissist: Essential Tools for Improving or Leaving Narcissistic and Abusive Relationships, zeroes in on the core issue that causes victims of abuse so much unhappiness.
My ability as an emotional intuitive enables me to quickly identify the source of problems and interpret dreams. I also utilize powerful, client-centered, evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), voice dialogue, dream analysis, emotional freedom technique (EFT), and hypnosis. In addition, I've trained in self-psychology, Jungian therapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, somatic work, and experience in 12-Step Programs. I speak to national audiences in the media and at professional conferences, and counsel professionals in the entertainment industry, as well as attorneys and other industries.
