I hope you find a good therapist who fits what you are looking for. My style is caring, warm, rooted in presence and deep listening. I also try to laugh sometimes with you. I might cry with you as well. We will be looking around corners together or perhaps making maps to help locate where we are and where we are going. I strive to plant myself in your corner and root you on as you tackle the challenges you are facing.

I work with high accountability professionals who want something different from therapy. The individuals I work with excel in many facets of life, and also recognize there are issues they need help working through. Often the same issues keep tripping them up, so they show up willing to look within themselves and do the work necessary to make transformative changes. Whether my clients want better work/life balance, are having troubles with self-confidence, need help with their relationships, or are feeling stuck in a meaningless loop, we work together to understand their struggles more deeply and with greater nuance and compassion.

Hello! I work with adolescents, parents, adults and couples. I create a safe space for individuals to explore and learn more about themselves. I aim to understand each individual's motivations and experience. I provide clients with insights that will help them get clarity about their circumstances in hopes of reducing symptoms. I provide psycho-education about the client's behavior and help them connect the links between their thoughts, feelings and actions. I utilize my clinical experience to determine what interventions and theoretical orientation makes the most sense for each individual to help support their progress.

Everyone is unique. Your thoughts, feelings and needs are shaped by your own background, family history, past interpersonal encounters and other significant events, including early child trauma. Psychotherapy is an emotional process. As we discuss your concerns, it will surface unexamined parts of your life of which you may not be aware or want to experience. My central role as your therapist is to help you talk about and understand more fully these unexamined thoughts, feelings, and needs in the context of your past, develop greater understanding, tolerance and acceptance, and to bring changes to your current situation.

I specialize in working with you in times of change whether wanted or unwanted; un-coupling or committing; wits-end or letting go or starting again. By looking at habits, patterns, defense structures, and super powers, we build awareness of their purpose and see how you can repurpose them, let them go or build new ones through deepening and allowing, owning disavowed parts, crafting new narratives. We help you find compassion and respect for self and others, growing your self esteem and relational wisdom.

Hello, I am Robynne (Robin üòâ) Herron. I am a Licensed Profession Clinical Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach is relaxed with a gratuitous use of humor. I favor existential and client-centered approaches. Typically, I work with clients that are focused on figuring out how to feel better; however, I have worked with many clients that weren't sure what feeling better would look like or that were stuck thinking it couldn't get better at all.

Sometimes - it all feels like it's too much. Life just keeps getting harder and harder and you find your mind always having something to stress about. The fears, anxieties, anger, resentment, pain, hurt all have a stronger hold on you and you find yourself in a greater disconnect with the people around you and even more so with yourself. You started the first step in healing by putting in the effort to finding support. Now let me walk alongside you on the path of healing and returning back to yourself.

As a psychologist, my role is being your partner on your path to greater wellbeing. I believe the bedrock of this partnership is your sense of safety within it, and it is from this safe place that change begins to feel possible. I believe that the quality and strength of our partnership has a great impact on how effective our work is together, and our first step forward is developing a relationship in which you feel secure and empowered.

Life comes with a lot of challenges and adversity that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Maybe you're noticing that you complain a lot about feeling stressed, tired, and unfulfilled or you know you'd be happier if you made changes but it feels too difficult. It’s possible to feel better. My clients discover that it's possible to manage their difficult feelings and be more engaged in their relationships. With over ten years of experience, I work with people who want to make changes in their lives, learn healthy coping strategies, heal past trauma, and improve their relationships with others.

Do you feel isolated, overwhelmed, or interested in making a life transition without knowing where to begin? Are you experiencing conflict in relationship or struggling with intimacy? I am passionate about helping individuals and couples forge new pathways for personal growth and nurture authentic connection. Through our work together, you can expect to feel a closer bond with your partner, experience greater sexual satisfaction, and develop more effective communication strategies. Whether seen as an individual client or as part of a couple, you will begin to live in closer alignment with your deepest values.

What if there is nothing wrong with you? What if you never had to judge you again? My specialty is inviting clients to their greatness and success; clearing the energies that don't allow for achievement, creativity, and possibilities. I work with clients from all walks of life who are demanding freedom and change. My clients tend to be the seekers, the highly creative, and the dissatisfied dreamers of the world who want more out of living. If you have "been there and done that" and know that more is possible, I would be an ideal therapist for you. My new book "What If You're Not As F-ed Up As You Think You Are?" is all about this.
