Sobriety and Mental Health: "Hospitalised days before my wedding due to addiction"

Rita Trotter

This week, I am joined by Lynsey Retzlaff. Join us as we discuss Lynsey's battle with addiction, how she trained to become a psychotherapist and how she helps thousands of clients now to improve their mental health.

Lynsey Retzlaff, MSW, LCSW is a Mental Wellness expert, speaker, coach, licensed psychotherapist, and mother of two. She has formal training in multiple evidence-based treatment modalities and over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist. Lynsey has worked at one of the few evidence-based trauma (PTSD) residential programs in the United States and has worked with over 1,000 clients. She works with individuals, leaders, corporations, and churches who recognize that any personal or business goals can only be completed with self-aware, safe, and mentally healthy individuals and leaders. Her insights can be seen in Parade Magazine.


She changed her life narrative to one of growth, happiness, and mental wellness after experiencing her own mental health struggles. Through learning what keeps her clients stagnant with their goals and implementing methods that changed her own life for the better, Lynsey created the C.L.E.A.R. Method to Renewed Living to teach others how to feel fulfilled and effectively progress in their personal and professional goals. 


She is passionate about helping individuals change their life narratives by challenging core childhood beliefs through safe environments and emotionally intelligent individuals.


Personally, Lynsey is an animal lover and Elvis Presley fanatic. She lives in Waukesha, WI with her husband and two children.
