My Journey
Just like you, I've had to grow and evolve throughout my life. Through my growth experiences I realized the most meaningful thing for me is to be of service to other people — as a wife and mom, “auntie” and friend, but also in my career. (Here's my “origin story”). With my particular blend of interests and talents I decided that the best way for me to be helpful to others was as a counselor. So, off I went to counseling school.
Marriage Counselor, Therapist, and Life Coach
I’ve since earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado. This trained me as a general practitioner therapist, and also gave me specialized training as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I decided that I loved my career so much that I wanted to continue my education, so I then earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado to become a Psychologist. After all that, I decided to became a Board Certified Life Coach. Now I have a decade of experience helping people create more Love, Happiness, and Success in their lives and I’m here, ready to help you too. If you are in need of marriage counselors, life & career coaches in Denver or online, schedule a free consultation today
Available In Denver, Across America, and Internationally
I help my clients create more love, happiness and success through marriage counseling and relationship coaching, life coaching, and individual therapy. I meet with individuals and couples all over the world because I specialize in online life coaching, online marriage counseling and online therapy. ( You can learn more about online therapy here.) While I'm limited to providing online therapy in Colorado, I provide coaching services to people across the US and around the world. In addition to myself, I work with talented therapists licensed to provide online therapy in numerous states across the US.
If you prefer in-person services, that's no problem: We have offices in the Metro Denver area including our Denver Colorado office (in Cherry Creek), our Broomfield Colorado location (just south of Boulder Colorado), Fort Collins, CO and our Denver Tech Center location (just off Bellevue and I-25), as well as physical office locations in Bentonville, Arkansas, Houston, TX, San Francisco, CA and Charlotte, NC. (And more to come!)
Let's Talk About Love, Happiness and Success
In addition to my work with clients, I'm a writer and speaker. I'm the author of “Exaholics: Breaking Your Addiction to Your Ex Love” (available at Barnes and Noble, and on Amazon.com) and I blog about “Love, Happiness and Success” at www.drlisabobby.com.
I am the host of The “Love, Happiness & Success” Podcast (available on iTunes), I’ve been featured on multiple national news stations (FOX 5 NYC, Denver CBS News, Denver 7, Denver FOX 31, FOX 35 Orlando) as a relationship expert, and featured in Time.com, the New York Post, Natural Health Magazine, HuffPost Live, SiriusXM (Doctor Radio), Reign Magazine, Self.com, DatingAdvice.com, and the Marilou Henner Show.
I'm one of nine national Dating Coaches trained at the world headquarters of Match.com. I’m the lead “ExPert” on breakup recovery for Exaholics.com, I’ve hosted personal development events through the “Fresh City Life” educational series through the Denver Public Library, and I’ve served on the board of the Colorado Psychological Association.
This Isn't About Me: It's About YOU.
My training and credentials mean nothing if they don't help you. I believe that you deserve to have a life full of love, happiness and success. My unique blend of expertise as a Marriage Counselor, Therapist, and Life Coach, helps me work with individuals and couples on several levels simultaneously using a variety of evidence-based strategies. As a therapist, I can help you understand yourself on a deep, core level – the level where powerful, transformational, lasting changes happen. As a Licensed Marriage Counselor, I can help you understand how to have better relationships. My training as a Board Certified Life Coach allows me to help you take action, and begin practicing the day-to-day strategies that will actually transform your life.
Growing Self Brings You The Best
I love being a therapist, marriage counselor and life coach, and being helpful partner to people on their journey of growth. It's incredibly meaningful and rewarding to me.
But awhile ago, I realized that it was impossible for me to work one-on-one with everybody. Furthermore, I strongly believe that life-changing personal growth work shouldn't be a luxury only available for a privileged few.
I decided that (in addition to working with clients personally) I could be of more service to the world by creating a network of smart, experienced, kind and effective therapists and counselors. I scour the globe to find the best talent, and make their services accessible to you in a convenient and affordable format. I work with everyone my team directly, so even if we don't get to meet personally I'll still be involved in your case.
Free Help, On Demand: Advice, Podcasts, Online Classes
I believe that my highest purpose is to help people grow, become stronger and happier, and strengthen their relationships and families. That is why I'm here to support your growth in every way — whether or not you choose to work with us.
Here at GrowingSelf.com you'll find a blog that is full of articles and free advice intended to help you. You can listen to the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast which focuses on bringing you helpful, actionable guidance. You can also take our online Happiness Class, that offers you the same ideas and skills that we teach our private clients in an inexpensive, online format. Contact our team of marriage counselors, life & career coaches Denver or online today to schedule a free consultation!
I sincerely hope you take advantage of the support and learning opportunities I have through my team, blog, online classes and podcast. It's all there for you.
I'm so glad you've found us, and given us the opportunity to support you on your journey of growth and change – either through this website, or through a personal relationship with a coach or counselor. You deserve all the love, happiness and success in the world. We are honored to help you create it.
With love and respect,
Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
