People come to therapy when they feel ready. Often they have gained some insight and are consciously seeking a happier, more balanced life. Many people are aware of a need for healing narcissistic abuse from family, partners or in the work environment. The motivation it takes to make that first phone call is a major step towards positive change. My style is interpersonal, supportive, open and communicative. Most people appreciate guidance, direction and practical feedback. I encourage exploration of unconscious repetitive patterns in relationships and making changes wherever possible.

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 am passionate about helping and supporting individuals, young adults and adolescents. I specialize in relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, transition, and grief. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. My training has equipped me with a strong foundation using an integrative approach that includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, to name a few. These therapeutic techniques allow me to tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs.

It might feel like everything is falling apart right now - I get that. Living in the current state of our world is heartbreaking and terrifying, it’s hard to hold onto hope or see that change is possible. I work with folks who are feeling overwhelmed, scared, uncertain, but who also want to hold onto or find the joy, vivaciousness and hope that can still exist in our world. I have a focus in working with the LGBTQ+ community and in particular those who are questioning their sexuality, wondering where they might fit in or feel disconnected from parts of themself.

Often, the clients that find their way to me are Black, Indigenous, and other men of color looking to process and work through anxiety or depression, questions of sexuality and gender, burnout and stress, and concerns related to how they show up in the world as men. In my practice, I support teens and adults in unpacking, making sense of, and growing from their past and present life challenges. We work together to re-author limiting narratives, uncover hidden strengths, and build resilience. I also work with couples and others in relationships seeking to disrupt dysfunctional patterns, improve communication, and enhance connection.

Being seen and heard more deeply than ever before is what I hope to provide you. Providing understanding why you are having a hard time is also crucial to change. The experience of being understood opens the way for self-reflection, learning and practicing new ways of being and disconfirming pathological beliefs. The number one predictor of positive outcome in psychotherapy is the relationship that develops between the therapist and the client, and I strive to engender a sense of safety to enable your trust and confidence in what can be a difficult, challenging, but life-changing journey.

It's not always easy to be a person. My job as a therapist is helping you figure out what works for you. I'm particularly good with clients who feel they don't fit the mold of societal expectations. I enjoy working with people who may be cautious about psychotherapy. My areas of expertise include relationship issues; depression and anxiety; chronic illness and disability; the impact of illness on couples and families.

Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.

Anxiety, stress, burnout—whatever you call it, it’s getting in the way. You might wake up dreading the day, struggle to focus, or feel trapped in endless "what ifs." Maybe stress is starting to wear you down, leaving you exhausted and unmotivated. Anxiety and burnout can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be.

You may be noticing that you don't feel like yourself and wondering if there's something wrong with you. Your relationship has changed, it's hard to get any work done or focus. You dread getting out of bed, which leaves you feeling guilty and stuck. Or maybe you just worry about everything. You want to connect more deeply with your friends, or to experience the love in your relationship that you used to feel. You want more excitement and meaning. And on top of it all, you feel that no one understands what you go through or you have no one to talk to about it: you feel alone.
