It's common to feel uncomfortable in the face of change. Most people experience stress when negotiating demands of college or a career, managing relationships, adapting to adulthood, transitioning during mid- and late-life, or losing a loved one, for example. Sometimes, though, stressors like these can throw you off balance and summon your worst demons. Discomfort can morph into self-doubt, disappointment, crippling feelings of inferiority, anxiety, or compulsive behavior. As a result, you might feel hopeless, alienated, misunderstood, and as if life were meaningless.

Are you wanting to improve your relationship with yourself, your family, friends, and/or romantic partner? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, or trauma? Through therapy we can work towards healing, while identifying underlying thoughts and patterns in order to achieve long term progress. Gaining insight about our own internal "blue print" can afford us the ability to make changes that can potentially change the direction of our lives. I take a very eclectic approach, as I utilize interventions from various theoretical approaches, in order to tailor therapy to each particular client.

If you've ever watched a film like Ladybird and thought "that's just like me and my parent", you've come to the right place! Our relationships can have an impact on how we see ourselves and the world, which can play a role in our mental health. Through an affirming approach, I focus on helping individuals explore their various identities (whether racial, gender, romantic, etc.) and examine how relationships with their family of origin can play a role in these identities and overall life experiences. I also help clients process the curveballs thrown at us otherwise known as life transitions, as well as grief and loss.

Hello, I am Robert Gastelum. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in practice since 1982. I assist clients interested in exploring how the patterns of our lives limit our development of options. I view our family experiences as the source of our primary approach to life. I focus on how to proceed beyond thinking and behaviors limiting our growth. These days, I find myself working primarily with adults whether younger or older. My experiences have ranged from working with children and parents to working with adolescents, and now, the senior community (of which I have become a member).
