I work from a humanistic, integrative approach. The way that I view Integrative psychotherapy is to honor the process of taking disowned or unresolved aspects (or parts) of the self and bring them together in order to help one find their "true authentic self." This process reduces defense mechanisms, and supports each client to integrate those protective parts in order to engage with the world, themselves and the people they care about. I bring presence, as well as unconditional personal regard to all my clients.

Even the healthiest of individuals, couples, and families come across challenges that invite confusion, and overwhelm and even despair. Getting support during difficult times can be helpful in allowing you to move more confidently in your preferred direction. I understand that it takes courage to seek counseling and psychotherapy, especially when it comes to your personal life situations. However, I want to reassure you that I hold confidentiality with the uppermost respect. I hope to offer you compassion and a safe and kind environment to review and step up to the challenges you face.

Grief, sadness, worry, and loneliness, have any of these taken root in your life? Possibly, you arrived here grieving the death of a loved one. Maybe, you have recently undergone a change that has you questioning your life’s purpose and meaning. Perhaps, you have experienced: loss of safety, loss of trust, loss of personal power or loss of connection. Is there something here that speaks to you about your life right now? If you are reading this, you have already taken that first positive step.

I believe we all have multiple aspects to our personalities shaped by our years of living. Together, we look at how past experiences influence one's current choices and feelings. Sometimes it can be difficult to regulate all of these feelings, which can affect relationships, parenting and self esteem. I provide a safe, nurturing therapeutic place to explore these issues, and help restore happiness to one's life.

I love helping adults from all stages and walks of life to understand the things that are holding them back in order to find ways through them. After recognizing underlying barriers, we can work towards fully realizing your strengths and adjusting certain behaviors and thoughts to see things and be yourself in a healthier way. In our first session together, we'll complete an assessment focused on exploring your past and present, current challenges and strengths, and specific problems that you hope to overcome. We'll discuss your specific goals for counseling as well as my recommendations for treatment to move towards those goals.

Hello, my name is Roslynn Noble. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 89024). This means I am trained as a therapist and as a social worker. I have worked as a clinical social worker for the last 10 years. Most recently my area of focus has been brief therapy, which focuses on stabilizing a single issue in 5-12 sessions. Therapy can be overwhelming, and the first few sessions are sometimes spent identifying and prioritizing what to stabilize.

Life can be difficult, but you shouldn't have to take on its challenges alone. I'd like to provide a safe, supportive space for you to deal with those challenges, so that life feels manageable and even beautiful.

I believe there is goodness, beauty, and incredible value at the core of every individual, as well as opportunities for change. I specialize in working with individuals navigating work/life/family balance, acute and chronic trauma, teen girls, fertility/pregnancy, significant illness, and loss including suicide survivors. A strong value I have is developing a meaningful relationship with my clients built on security, respect, compassion, and healing. It is also critical to develop goals that are important to you and ensuring you feel heard and your needs in treatment are being met.

Therapy should be an uplifting, inspiring and transformational experience! I have extensive training and experience using EFT Tapping for releasing traumas, negative emotions, and negative subconscious programming that holds you back in life. My main areas of focus are Trauma release, and Peak Performance Coaching, specializing in working with Entrepreneurs to reduce anxiety and self-limiting beliefs that cause stress and block creativity. Offering both short-term solution oriented therapy as well as life coaching and long-term therapy, depending on your goals and needs. I am also an EFT trainer for psychotherapists through the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.

Are your past ways of coping and dealing with stress or challenges no longer serving you? Are you tired, anxious or overwhelmed? Are you living life but feel like you have lost yourself? With over 10 years of experience working with people with various life circumstances: anxiety, depression, unemployment/financial stress, substance use, relationship and family dynamic concerns, as well as more acute traumas; I am prepared to support you in regaining control of your life.

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

Life can be difficult. You don't have to go it alone. My approach is engaged and practical, with the goal of meeting you where you are. My work is grounded in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation for therapeutic change. With couples, I incorporate the work of IFS - Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), EFT, and The Gottman Institute. Prior to working as a therapist I enjoyed an extensive career in the business world. In Sonoma County since 1993, I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology and a BS in Business Administration. Grounded. Collaborative. Creative. Respectful.

Many of my clients have difficulty articulating emotions, which can lead to difficulty making decisions, asserting their needs, or setting healthy boundaries. They feel disconnected from themselves and others, as if they are not fully present, leading to problems in their relationships and even with themselves. They may feel like their issues are not significant enough to warrant attention, and they may feel guilty for asking for help. Most feel that they should be able to manage things on their own. Does any of this sound familiar?

Therapy for Men's Issues: You shut down, get defensive, or lash out when uncomfortable things come up in your relationships. You don't want the drama. But you know something feels off and wonder, "What am I missing?" You'd like to understand yourself better, so you aren't so confused about developing and maintaining relationships and having emotional intimacy. You're tired of being labeled as insensitive, guarded, or acting "hot and cold." At times, life feels empty, alone, and without purpose. You did the things you thought would make life happy and successful, but there is still a void in this area of your life.

My purpose is to best support you on this journey and provide a safe space for explorations of your emotions that will provide insight, understanding and build self-awareness and acceptance to grow. I work with children, teens, young adults, and families on their anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, career/identity issues, life adjustments and relational challenges.

Sometimes the things that you are struggling with need some immediate relief. We will work together to create a toolbox for you to use to cope with and manage these difficulties, which may include aspects of cognitive behavioral and dialectical therapies. Other times, deeper issues are best pondered by looking at your early experiences and the present patterns that result from them. Object Relations and psychodynamic therapies may be helpful here. We have all been taught many things, and in looking at them now, we may find some are no longer useful.

Sex addiction impacts the addict and their partner.
