A psychotherapy practice treating adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and unresolved trauma

The stress of day-to-day life can be overwhelming. It can cause us to feel anxious, sad, and disconnected from ourselves and the people who are most important to us.

Therapy can be a powerful resource that allows you to be seen, heard, and supported. Dedicating your time and energy towards improving your mental well being and focusing on yourself is not always easy. For this reason, I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and nurturing environment in which you can feel comfortable leaning into your vulnerabilities, and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

In my practice, therapy is a collaborative process and I work with each of my clients to create an individualized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals. I can help you achieve greater fulfillment, balance, and happiness and satisfaction in your life.

Many people think that psychotherapy is only for those with mental health concerns, however, the truth is that therapy can benefit anyone who is looking to gain insight, achieve greater self-awareness, build resilience, and an enhanced sense of well-being.

My approach is a blend between proven, evidence-based treatment modalities including Trauma-Informed Therapy, Attachment Science, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Somatic & Mindfulness-Based Techniques (Integrative Approaches).

If you're ready to explore the benefits of psychotherapy, I’m here to help. Please schedule your complimentary consultation and start your journey toward growth and healing today.

The Results

My clients report that as a result of therapy they feel less anxious and depressed, increasingly self-aware, and better able to manage stress and life transitions. They possess greater confidence, are fully engaged, and are enjoying their lives, again.

Couples share that they have gained a better understanding of their relationship dynamics, have regained trust, learned effective communication and coping skills, and developed a deeper emotional connection leading to greater intimacy.

Life Is So Much More Difficult When Your Anxiety & Stress Are Out Of Control

Anxiety and stress are a message that something in your life is not going well and needs to be addressed.  You may have big emotions caused by a painful breakup, unfulfilling job, insecurity, loneliness, or unresolved trauma that you haven’t effectively dealt with, yet.

What is your anxiety trying to teach you?

It’s time to listen to the message and heal whatever has been hurting. The right treatment will enable you to effectively overcome your anxiety

Without proper treatment, anxiety can and will linger.

Clients’ Success Stories

Robyn is fantastic. I have been working with her for many years now and am still amazed at how much better I feel after each of our sessions. She is an active listener and offers ideas, tactics, and solutions rather than trying to tell me what I should do. I have come so far on my mental health journey, and I couldn't have done it without Robyn's support and guidance.

JS

Robyn is an invaluable asset to my mental health and professional journey. Her effectiveness in guiding me towards a sharper focus on the critical aspects of my professional practice has been remarkable. With her guidance, I've acquired essential skills and techniques that have significantly propelled my career forward while prioritizing my mental and emotional wellbeing.

One of her exceptional qualities is to keenly perceive and address challenges, both internal and external, that may hinder my progress toward goals I have with both my wellbeing and my professional trajectory. Her insightful approach and the concrete strategies we practice in session have not only helped me identify these obstacles but also provided practical solutions to lead a happier and healthier life.

Robyn is committed to empowering me to take charge of my own growth, fostering a sense of self-reliance and self-improvement. In our sessions, she maintains a direct and clear communication style, coupled with the utmost professionalism. This clarity has been instrumental in facilitating my understanding and implementation of the strategies we discuss.

Furthermore, her kindness, love, and genuine care have created a supportive and nurturing environment for my personal and professional development. These qualities have played a pivotal role in my journey towards self-improvement and well-being.

JP

Thank you for all of the help you've given me over the last 2+ yrs. It has made a big difference in how I cope with the difficult moments, how I see myself, and how I interact with those closest to me. I feel much more grounded and better able to weigh my thoughts before responding/acting on my feelings. I still have work to do, and I know that the skills you've taught me will make it easier.

I'll miss having you as a sounding board for my many (MANY) thoughts and appreciate the "stand in" you functioned as to help me make that positive and safe attachment to a woman in a mentorship role. It helped heal many of the mom issues and allowed me to free up a little space for understanding and acceptance, so thank you for that.
I wish you all the best.

JN

On the chance we don't get to work together anymore since I’m leaving California, you have seriously had such a profound, positive impact on my life these past months. I have adored working with you! Thank you so much for all your help!

MF

I just wanted to send you a very heartfelt note to say THANK YOU!
Having met you and been receiving your amazing help navigating my current trials and tribulations have definitely been my biggest highlights for 2023. I don't know how I ended up so lucky to have found you, but I am so very grateful that I did. THANK YOU for working your therapist magic on me!

J.F.

Thank you so, so, much for helping me these past months. It truly has made all the difference.

Insurance

This practice is currently not in-network with any insurance companies, so I do not bill directly.

With PPO insurances plans, I’m considered an out-of-network provider. Most PPO insurance companies do cover a portion of out-of-network services. This means that you may be reimbursed in full, or in part, for my psychotherapy services, depending upon your insurance coverage.

If you wish to use your out-of-network benefits, please request a receipt for psychotherapy services (called a superbill) which will include all necessary information for you to submit a claim directly to your insurance company.

Psychotherapy may also qualify for reimbursement using a Health Savings account or Flexible Savings Account. Many people enjoy using this option because it is pre-taxed income, which greatly reduces the overall cost of therapy.

Couples Therapy is not usually covered by health insurance because it’s not deemed “medically necessary.” Relationship issues are not considered a mental health diagnosis, which is a requirement for health insurance companies to pay for therapy.

Schedule An Appointment

I’ll help you feel like yourself again with a newfound sense of empowerment, purpose, and joy.

Prepare to become fully engaged, develop more knowledge, self-awareness, and profound wisdom, leading to transformative shifts in your mindset and behavior. You will reclaim your inner focus, energy, and, most of all, your joy.

Good Faith Estimate Notice

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
