Relationship Issues Therapists in Los Altos Hills, CA

Start seeing challenges as opportunities to get your needs met and improve your relationship! I’m Dr. Sean Robertson, creator of RDP. I work as an online Couples Counselor and Intimacy Coach. I know relationships can be hard, even though they’re also one of the most fulfilling parts of our life. In my couples counseling I create an empathic space for learning and deep connection, while also being diligent about ensuring that clients implement the tools I teach. My methods are based in behavioral psychology, Gottman Method, and attachment psychology.

I serve couples/throuples who are in one of two kinds of situations. 1) At least one person is so hurt or hopeless they aren't sure whether they want to stay in the relationship. 2) Everyone wants to keep this relationship; they want it to be the best version of the relationship. And they're having trouble getting there....Many of my clients are also dealing with schizophrenia, traumas, or bipolar disorder....And I do evaluations for couples adopting from India.

Are you feeling frustrated & misunderstood in your relationships? Do relationships seem more complicated & overwhelming? Life is just so busy, you can barely keep up. These experiences can lead to feeling unsatisfied, exhausted, helpless, and alone. Uncomfortable & painful emotions can be a result of changes in your life, relationship or family conflict, social struggles, feeling unheard, or feeling overwhelmed by the world around you. You may be tired of living your life on autopilot, & have reached a point where you're ready to see changes happen. I can help you move towards living your life in a more fulfilling & manageable way.

I enjoy working with adults and families who desire change, but aren't sure how to make it happen. For some, it means a change in relationship dynamics or parenting style. For others, it means collaborating on complicated life issues, such as difficult teenagers, substance abuse, or co-parenting. If you are looking to leave a long marriage, I can help you navigate that process. I also enjoy working with individuals in their 20's and 30's trying to figure out this thing called adulting. I split my time between Steamboat Springs,CO and northern California, and am licensed to see clients in California, Colorado and Utah.

Do you keep getting hurt in relationships? Keep repeating the same patterns that leave you anxious & depressed? Feel alone, numb, or spiral into intense overwhelming feelings out of nowhere? Early relationships are our blueprint for relationships with self & others. They shape our perceptions & beliefs, often subconsciously.

You know something needs to change, you're just not sure what or how. You're ready to stop feeling broken & finally live an empowered, connected life.

With over 25 years of counseling experience, I work with you to explore, heal, & thrive, finding a path to growth & well-being.

You’re here today because you’re likely struggling with some aspect of womanhood or motherhood and are looking to begin your journey towards healing. Maybe you’re a new mother that’s having a difficult time adjusting to your new “normal”, which has you feeling sad and/or anxious in your role. Perhaps you’re struggling to cope with challenges in your relationship/marriage. You may be having a difficult time feeling present and connected with both yourself and the people around you. Or maybe you’re ready to begin processing and working through the difficult experiences that have been holding you captive for so long.

You deserve to feel seen and live a life of authenticity without the stress and anxiety of being afraid to show others who you are or who you want to be. So often we find ourselves holding back our needs to ensure the needs of others are being met but this pattern leaves many of us feeling lonely and isolated in our relationships. Therapy can be a way to help you achieve the authenticity you are seeking through processing thoughts and feelings that might be getting in your way of showing up for yourself.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy. I enjoy working with adult clients who are seeking to create healthier relationships or those seeking support in coping with loss.

Our lives—and the lives of our family and friends—are often challenged by issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, loss and grief. And we are often so pressured by the demands of everyday life that we struggle to simply get through each day. While our relationships with others can be sources of great love and support, they are often sources of our deepest pain. Through the process of therapy, we can come to better understand the roots of our suffering, heal emotional wounds and strengthen our relationships with ourselves and others.

Imagine seeking deeper meaning in your life, grappling with unresolved trauma, inner conflicts, and a longing for personal growth. You yearn for self-empowerment, liberation from past burdens, and a path to your own sovereignty.

Life feels like shit. You wake up each morning feeling stuck and unsure. There is no clear path to feeling better. Past experiences keep showing up when you least expect them, and your emotions get the better of you. It's lonely dealing with these feelings on your own, but you don't know where to turn. Hiding behind your mask is no longer possible. You've thought about asking for help but keep putting it off. Asking for help is on your mind and you are ready to take those first steps. The thought of confronting your past is scary, but you know that these old patterns are no longer serving you, and it's time for a change.
